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 can provide clues to 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 usually has limited mobility, went out on crutches, just in case he was lucky enough to meet him.

Ten days later, Xia Ren reported to an old judge in the Qingzhou government office.

"Have you caught that female cultivator named Butterfly?"

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

Xia Ren looked ashamed and could only report the truth.

"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 female foundation-building cultivators in Qingzhou. We have searched almost all the female cultivators, but we have not been able to find this person."

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 past year, Xia Wei, Xia Li, together with 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 dozens of charges against the alchemy house for selling pills.

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

Including the old judge's family, they 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 be able to use 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 you find out, if you find this person, are you sure you can deal with her?"

Xia Ren was stunned, that was indeed the case.

Being able to resell so many elixirs must have a deep background. When the time comes to find out, everyone will look bad.

Killing Butterfly Fairy according to the laws of Dazhou will definitely offend the forces behind it. If it is not dealt with, it will be difficult to explain.

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 people and make money 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 had to let it go.

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 someone had already helped him to reveal the truth about the scam he had brought out this time.

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 a tune, and sometimes he even smiled suddenly.

Nearly 4,000 spiritual stones, dozens 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 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, more than a dozen black jade mushroom seedlings have grown on that piece of spiritual soil.

It takes 400 years for Black Jade Zhi to mature. At the speed of cultivation using spiritual soil, it will mature in another four years.

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.

"Sir, you are finally back!"

Huang Laocai saw Er Gouzi and walked over quickly.

"What happened?"

"Qingzhou Prefecture sent an adult over to collect grain from us and collect labor from the people."

Huang Laocai said quickly, he has been here for more than ten days, holding documents 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, and they still ask me for people and food."

"Take me to see it!"

Huang Laocai 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.

He held a woman in each hand, 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 retreated quickly.

"I am Xia Ji, the quartermaster under General Xia of Qingzhou Prefecture, and I am under the order of General Xia to collect military rations and civilians!"

"General Xia's order, Sanyang County must pay 50,000 stones of military rations and 500 civilians within a month."

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

"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Now that half a month has passed, County Magistrate Zhang should collect food and civilians as soon as possible."

Er Gouzi took the military order and took a look. It was indeed the order of General Xia Mingyuan.

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 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 civilians within a month."

Xia Ji rolled his eyes and directly used General Xia's military order to pressure others.

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

"Anyway, you must pay the current military rations and civilians!"

"No matter what method you use, I must see the food and civilians 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 there were no people left, he deliberately came to collect food and civilians.

But the higher the official, the more powerful he is. He can use General Xia's chicken feathers as a command arrow.

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