Meiman: I have a quantum body

"stop!"

After hearing the sound, the seven guards turned around one after another, clasped their fists in their hands and saluted respectfully: "See the city lord."

It turns out that this person is the city lord, Qi Yu thought in his heart, if your city lord hadn't come today, I'm afraid all of you would be instantly killed by my brother.

The city lord walked steadily towards the main gate of the city lord's hall. When he approached Qi Yu, the other seven guards withdrew to both sides one after another, as if they had no intention of protecting the city lord.

In fact, these seven guards didn't want to protect the city lord, but because the city lord didn't need the protection of these weak guards at all.

What caught Qi Yu's eyes was an old man who was about seventy years old. The old man's brows naturally revealed an extraordinary temperament, and his whole body also faintly exuded an uncommon aura.

Qi Yu guessed that the old man, as the city lord, should be a powerful monk.

Compared with these seven guards, the city lord at the level of Xuanxiu naturally does not need the protection of their cannon fodder. These cannon fodder are usually just looking at the gate and supporting the facade of the city lord's hall.

"You are the city lord?" Qi Yu asked politely.

"That's right, this old man is the City Lord of Wugu City. Who is your Excellency?" The City Lord asked politely, bowing his hands.

"My surname is Qin, and I worship the surname bestowed by the current emperor, Qin IX. I am the emperor's confidant. When I first arrived at your mansion today, I was ordered to investigate some things as an imperial envoy." Seeing the city lord's politeness, Qi Yu also respectfully replied.

As soon as the words fell, Qi Yu took out the dazzling gold medal from his arms, the emperor's exclusive gold medal engraved with the three characters "Qin Jiushi".

Qi Yu held the gold medal in his hand, placed it on his chest and looked at the city lord.

When the city lord saw the gold medal engraved with the words "Qin Jiushi" in Qi Yu's hand, he frowned slightly.

The city lord knew that in the entire Great Qin Empire, there was absolutely no one other than the current emperor who had the power to forge a gold medal with the words "Qin IX" engraved on it.

Of course, law-breakers who forge without permission are excluded.

According to the laws of the Great Qin Empire, any individual or organization other than the emperor's personal authorization to forge a gold medal engraved with the three characters "Qin Jiushi" must belong to the Nine Clans.

Therefore, the young man in white in front of him is either really the imperial envoy of the current Emperor Qin Jiushi, or he is a heinous criminal who violated the law.

The city lord was lost in thought, and he could only half-believe the white-clothed young man in front of him for the time being. Maybe there are some people in this world who are not afraid of implicating the nine clans.

"Why, City Master, don't you believe in the identity of this imperial envoy?" Qi Yu asked with a natural expression as he took back the gold medal.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that your Excellency hastily said that you are the emperor's imperial envoy. This old man should take some time to judge. After all, you can't trust you easily based on your one-sided words, right?" the city lord said cautiously.

Qi Yu frowned slightly, took out the gold medal (Zhao Qianhao) again, held it out in front of the city lord, and said with a natural expression: "If you don't believe me, you can find someone to come over to verify the authenticity of this gold medal .”

The city lord thought about it, and felt that this strategy was feasible, so he took the gold medal, whose authenticity is unknown for now, and said, "I will do as you say."

Therefore, the city lord gave an order to the seven guards around him, asking them to look for Master Zhou, the number one appraiser of Wugu City in the city, and let him come over quickly after finding it.

Chapter 779

Not long after, Master Zhou was brought in by a guard.

At this time, Qi Yu and the city lord had been sitting in the stone pavilion in the courtyard for a while.

"See the city lord." After seeing the city lord, Master Zhou immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Please get up quickly." The city lord quickly stood up from the stone bench, supported Master Zhou's shoulders, and kindly helped him up.

Master Zhou, as the city's number one appraiser in Wugu City, has been appraising for decades. He is quite old now, and he is as old as the city owner.

However, although Master Zhou and the city owner are both in their early 787s, there seems to be a big difference between [-] and [-].

The image of Master Zhou is that he is old and weak, with a thin body and wrinkled skin; but the image of the city lord is that he is energetic, strong and strong, with thick skin.

The obvious reason is that Master Zhou is just an ordinary old man with no cultivation, while the latter is a high-level Xuan cultivator with a high-level cultivation of the Xuan Realm.

After the city lord explained the instructions, Master Zhou put down the small wooden box on his back and put it on the stone table. He took out some special identification tools from the small wooden box and carefully identified the gold medal in front of him.

About a quarter of an hour later, Master Zhou put down the identification tools in his hand and reported to the city lord: "City lord, this gold medal is indeed a real gold medal, the unique gold medal owned by the current Emperor Qin IX."

The face of the city lord changed slightly, and he asked quickly: "How sure are you?"

Master Zhou replied in a serious tone: "[-]% sure! Cao Min has just identified the gold medal three times, and he is very sure that it is real. As the number one appraiser in the city, Cao Min has already identified the gold medal in his life. For more than fifty years, countless rare treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings have been appraised, and the appraisal experience of more than fifty years has told Caomin that this gold medal is indeed the unique gold medal owned by Qin Jiushi."

Hearing Master Zhou's impassioned words, the city lord immediately believed that this gold medal was indeed that of Qin Jiushi.

If (&) says no, then there is only one possibility, and that is that the degree of counterfeiting of this gold medal has reached the extreme level of realism that even the city's number one appraiser, Master Zhou, has been appraised three times. .

In this way, it seems that the young man in white in front of him is really the emperor's confidant, the imperial envoy at the moment.

Of course, a special situation cannot be ruled out, that is, Qin Jiushi's gold medal was stolen.

However, the chances of this particular case occurring are almost zero.

Why?

There are as many masters in the imperial city as Chinese cabbage, and the defense is extremely strict. Even if you are a peerless master, it may be difficult to get in and out, let alone steal such an important gold medal safely?

"The old man understands, Master Zhou, you have worked hard, you go to the cashier to get some money, and then you can go back." The city lord said politely.

"Thank you, the city lord, the grassroots leave." Master Zhou said respectfully, then picked up the small wooden box on the stone table, turned and left.

Looking at Master Zhou's back as he drifted away, the city lord suddenly knelt down to Qi Yu and bowed respectfully.

"I'm going to see the imperial envoy." The city lord knelt on the ground of the stone pavilion and said respectfully to Qi Yu.Obviously, the city lord has regarded Qi Yu as a real imperial envoy.

"Get up." Qi Yu said lightly.I think you are finally willing to believe my identity.

Chapter 780

"Thank you, Imperial Envoy." The city lord quickly stood up and thanked respectfully.

"My imperial envoy came to your city lord's hall to investigate some things at the order of my lord. Now that you believe in my identity, I will start to ask you." Qi Yu said.

"My lord imperial envoy, please, follow me to the study to discuss in detail." The city lord stretched out his right hand and made a petition.

After a while, Qi Yu followed the city lord to the door of the city lord's study.

The two guards of the study saw the city lord bringing a young man over, and immediately opened the door of the study for them.

After closing the door, Qi Yu and the city lord walked in.

The decoration of the study room is relatively simple, generally there is only one antique desk and two somewhat worn-out bookshelves.

"My lord, please sit down." The city lord pointed to a wooden chair in front of the desk and said.

Qi Yu sat down unceremoniously, while the city lord could only stand aside.

You must know that the imperial envoy is a person who works exclusively for the emperor. In a sense, the imperial envoy represents the emperor himself, so his status is extremely high. Even a first-rank prince needs to kneel down to salute the imperial envoy.

Therefore, Qi Yu, the imperial envoy at the moment, is sitting on a chair, while the city lord, who lives in the fourth rank, can only stand aside respectfully.Of course, as long as the imperial envoy is willing, the city lord may still have to kneel and talk all the time.

A month ago, there was a severe drought in Wugu City.

20 peasants, and nearly [-] poorer peasants were seriously affected, and thus became beggars and starving ghosts.

What Qi Yu wants to investigate is the reason why Wugu City failed to provide effective disaster relief!

Qi Yu didn't hesitate too much, and asked straight to the point: "City Master, there was a severe drought in your Wugu City a month ago, right?"

The face of the city lord changed slightly, thinking that what should come is still coming. He had long expected that the purpose of the imperial envoy's order to come here this time was to investigate the severe drought in Wugu City a month ago.

As a decent character, the city lord is a little worried about his official career, but at the same time he is very happy, excited, and looking forward to it.

I am glad that I have long heard that the emperor has been moving towards a wise emperor in the past few months. Not long ago, he personally killed a malignant tumor of the empire, that is, Qin Tianyun, the commander of the imperial forest army who is not benevolent. I know that is the current emperor's uncle.

What was exciting was that the emperor sent an imperial envoy to his mere Wugu City, which showed that the emperor's character had indeed changed, and he had become more concerned about the living conditions of the common people.

What we are looking forward to is the ability of this imperial envoy, whether he can find out a group of corrupt officials behind the severe drought, and punish them with strict discipline.

......................................

"That's right, there is indeed such a thing," said the city lord.

"How is the disaster relief work going?" Qi Yu asked.Of course, Qi Yu knew the answer. From the beggars all over the capital, it could be seen that the disaster relief work in Wugu City was extremely poor.

"The disaster relief situation is going very poorly." The city lord said without thinking.It seems that this city lord can be regarded as one of the few people who dare to speak the truth.

"As far as I know, shortly after the severe drought, the imperial court allocated 100 million taels of silver and 100 million catties of rice for your Wugu City as disaster relief supplies. Why did the relief work fail after spending so much money and supplies? "Qi Yu asked solemnly.
