Chapter 91 Stupidity and Ledgers

Chu Qiguang asked the liar to explain the process of his deception, and squeezed out ten taels of silver from the other party. Seeing the other party's constant begging for mercy, he asked disappointedly: "You don't have any backing? Big brother? Master? "

"No...no...no..." The liar said with a mournful face, "My lord, all the money I have on me has been handed over to you. I really have nothing left."

"Then make a written statement. You still owe me 1000 taels of silver." Chu Qiguang looked at the other party's refusal, and persuaded him with good intentions: "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, how do you know that you can't come back in revenge?" ? My IOU is to let you have a goal in the future."

But Chu Qiguang got rid of the liar, Grandma Sun still didn't believe that the master was a liar, she only blamed Chu Qiguang for forcing the master to admit his mistake, and begged Chu Qiguang to let the master go, making Chu Qiguang laugh angrily.

He knows that some people are superstitious, even if the facts are in front of them, they are unwilling to admit that they are wrong. This grandma sun is obviously such a person.

In the crying of Grandma Sun, she told how in the eight years since her grandson was born, in order to make her grandson better, she cooked and washed clothes during the day, and took on some mending work at night to subsidize the family. , I have worked so hard to earn money for so many years, and most of it was sent to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings, hoping that the Taoist priest would bless my grandson to be in better health.

According to Grandma Sun, it was her persistence and devotion over the years that moved Taoist Xuanyuan, so Taoist Qingling who came to Qingyang Taoist Temple two years ago often prescribed some pills to recuperate Sun Xian's body.

But Taoist Qingling went out to investigate the corpse case from time to time in recent months, and he never continued to help Sun Xian recuperate.

Chu Qiguang, who was listening to Grandma Sun's story, thought that although the Tianshi Sect was already very malignant and exploited the people, but in comparison, other cults and scammers had no lower limit.But the reason is still because the Han Dynasty is relying on religion to resist the state of enchantment. Chu Qiguang feels a headache when he thinks about it.

Looking at Grandma Sun who was still complaining every sentence, he suddenly didn't want to say anything, it was a chicken talking to a duck.

Wang Cailiang, who was on the side, sighed, saying that the liar knew people from Huang Tiandao and was worried that Chu Qiguang would get involved with this sect.

"The way of the emperor?" Chu Qiguang's mind flashed. He had heard that Qiao Zhi had popularized science with him before. Like the Tao of Immortals, it was an organization listed as a cult by the big man.

However, Huangtian Dao is not as evil as the Dao of Immortals. They believe in the gods of the emperor, and in Yongzhou, they spread the believers by treating diseases for the people and donating rice and food. "Five Thunders"

"I heard from Qiao Zhi that the five thunders can cast palm thunder after entering the Tao, and the human book can make talisman water to cure diseases and save people. '

In the following days, Chu Qiguang moved directly to Wu's house, relying on Chen Gang to communicate with the outside world every day, communicating with cat demons and dog demons.

In the Wu family, he mainly practiced martial arts, meditated, or chatted with Wu Wei or the young masters and ladies of the Wu family to exchange feelings.

Eight days later, Chu Qiguang finally penetrated all four branches of Qi, and was able to use his own strength to push the blood in his body, reaching the third state of sensing Qi and blood and circulating Qi and blood.

And Qiao Zhi also returned to Qingyang County the next day, bringing back more than a dozen transcribed account books in one go.

……

Qiao Zhi said: "Dagan is very polite to me. They also know that the big man wants to trade with each other, and the Ding family is holding back. Knowing that I want to take revenge on the Ding family, they just copied a copy of the account book and gave it to me, and told me to be careful."

Qiao Zhi sighed again: "There are so many monsters over there."

Although the wolf clan is the most respected on the grassland nowadays, the wolf clan also ruled a large number of other monster tribes, and even a large number of cat and dog tribes migrated from the human world of the big man every year.

Chu Qiguang said: "But it's not going well, is it?"

Qiao Zhi nodded. The demon clan was not as good at forging and weaving as humans... Of course, the shortage of various living materials would not make it easy for the low-level demon clan, which also caused the strength of the entire demon clan to remain stagnant.

It can be said that most of the monster races in Daqian are eager to trade with the big man.

In Chu Qiguang's view, the big cadres in the north are still in the process of transforming from slavery to feudalism, which makes them not as good as big men.

Chu Qiguang lowered his head and continued to flip through the account book in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.

There are records of the smuggling trade between the northern monster clan and the south in the past ten years. There are five powerful families in places like the Ding family, all of whom are senior Jinshi officials behind them. In addition, there are nine border army towns haunting them. To the transaction of weapons and food.

"Nine Frontiers Town has become so rotten."

The situation of the frontier army is even worse than Chu Qiguang imagined. It has completely become a country within a country, and the tail is too big to lose.

Chu Qiguang shook his head, and directly sent all the dozen or so account books to Wu Wei, and then called Daoist Fa Yuan of the Taoist temple to send them to Shenjing through the route taught by Tianshi, and hand them over to Wu Ge. old hands.

After all, Li Changqing has been released by the Taoist temple at this moment. Although he is still recuperating because he has been starved for seven days, his subordinates of the Zhenmagic Division have already started to deal with the Wu family and the Hao family again.

It is useless to keep these account books in the hands of Chu Qiguang and Wu Wei, because the involvement in them is too great. If the Nine Frontier Army Town can be so presumptuous, there must be someone among the senior officials of the court colluding with it. have a share.

During these days of getting along, Wu Wei has become more and more trusting of Chu Qiguang. Now that he has received these dozens of account books from the other party, he is more and more impressed by Chu Qiguang's methods.

Wu Wei said: "When these books are sent to my father, they will definitely not be made public, and they will not even be seen by the emperor through formal channels. Otherwise, not only will the Nine Frontiers be unstable, but once a big prison is raised, it will be easier It will lead to party disputes, enlarge it, and even make everyone feel insecure, triggering a backlash."

Wu Wei said thoughtfully: "It's better to hold it in your hand than to hand it over. Instead, it can become a bargaining chip."

Having the account book in hand is of course in the best interest of Wu Ge, but it is not in the interest of Chu Qiguang, and it may not be what Wu Wei wants most.

After getting in touch with him during this period of time, Chu Qiguang has seen through the second son of Mr. Wu Ge. To sum it up, he is ambitious and talented, and he is greedy for gold and silver.He is not interested in seeking benefits for ten or a hundred years. Instead, what he can get now is more in line with his requirements.

So Chu Qiguang took advantage of the situation and said: "The Ding family is finished this time. Think about it, they have a dozen or two 10,000+ taels of silver every year, and they don't know how much silver they have hidden in the family."

Seeing the change in Wu Wei's gaze, and his shortness of breath, Chu Qiguang sighed again: "Oh, it's a pity that it will be cheaper for those town magicians and officers and soldiers who ransacked their homes."

Thinking of this, Wu Wei also sighed, showing a look of pity, at this moment wishing that he could go and copy Ding Daoxiao's house right now.

Chu Qiguang said: "The Ding family destroyed the spiritual veins and colluded with demons. This is a naked rebel. I think the people of the whole county should be righteous and brave to catch the rebel."
