Chapter 89 The truth is always unbelievable

"This Chen Qing is really funny!"

In Luling County, Gu Beiquan deliberately took out Chen Qing's flying letter and read it in public through the feast hosted by many officials, and took the lead in laughing. Everyone who was in the middle of the banquet also laughed along with the county magistrate. Get up, all kinds of languages ​​​​are full of ridicule.

"This Mr. Chen is very creative. Living corpses floated from the sea to eat people, and they went down the river, reaching the surrounding districts and counties, tsk tsk." Liu Yiqi, who was sitting next to Gu Beiquan, also shook his head with a smile: "What do you do with such a talent? Scientific research? If you write a script, it will be a big hit."

This remark immediately caused everyone at the dinner table to roar with laughter!

Since a group of people took over Luling County, there have been many intrigues, but they did not expect that they were extremely united in the matter of laughing at Chen Qing.

But think about it, a country mud leg at the end of a second-tier crane stepped on the heads of all of them when he took office. When he was in Liuzhou, he gave them official positions as if they were giving them alms. In the scene of vying for an official in front of that muddy leg, the humiliation in the hearts of a group of people has never disappeared!
Not to mention that the magistrate tried to take away their political achievements by various crooked means when he took office.

First, the direct tax exemption attracted a large number of cargo ships, and then they despicably hired some people to come to their county town and countryside to publicize the absurd rumors that hard labor at the wharf earns a tael of silver a day. It's nothing to be a hard worker, but they don't care much about walking a few muddy legs. The key is to hype up some gate gods to protect the city, and attract those famous masters to Liuzhou.
Especially more than ten days ago, most of the masters in their county who originally came from Liuzhou were deceived back to Liuzhou, and even some local masters went over to look at them curiously, and then moved their families when they came back, almost leaving them behind. Die!

Luling County already relied on its good culture and education to attract some high-level and low-level members to live here. If the teachers were cheated away, who would want to live in Luling County in the future?Isn't the white water next door fragrant?Whether it's doing business or buying land, which condition is better than Luling County?

Fortunately, they were so earnest, and they came to persuade each family, understood them with reason, and moved them with emotion, so they managed to stabilize the situation.

"I said it at the beginning." Liu Yiqi blushed slightly from drinking, and amplified his voice with the strength of alcohol: "The door god theory is a crooked theory made up by that surnamed Chen. If there is such a thing in this world, the court has already seen it." After organizing everyone to pay homage together, is there still a need for him to promote it?"

"Now he's using the living corpse as an excuse to scare us? Isn't he protected by the door god? How can a majestic god let those evil spirits go?"

"Liu Jiaoyu is right!" A group of officials and some supporters raised their glasses one after another, everyone's face was red, catering to Liu Yiqi's contempt for the magistrate.

Liu Yiqi immediately showed a look of complacency, and continued: "Qi is not afraid of offending people, I said it today, that Chen Qing is a courtier, relying on flattery and flattery to attract today's princesses with masculinity, relying on women's Guan Guan has become an official of the prefect, and now he is showing off his unscrupulous methods, which is really ridiculous!"

"Liu Jiaoyu's words are hearty!" Gu Beiquan also burst out laughing and raised his glass in agreement.

"Happy!" The officials of the entire restaurant seemed to have found a vent, and they all raised their glasses in high spirits, and the outsiders and wealthy businessmen who joined the party followed suit, but those teachers who couldn't shirk the banquet and followed them smiled wryly.

Although I have not been in contact with Liu Jiaoyu for a long time, the old masters know countless people, and they have long seen through the other party's arrogant and arrogant temperament. As for the other officials, to be honest, they are not very optimistic about it. , the overall quality is not 01:30 worse than those of the previous officials.

Although the officials before were not considered capable officials, they at least looked like officials. What kind of mess is this group of people in front of them?

As for Chen Qing, whom they scolded together, in the hearts of many masters, isn't it that unbearable, at least for Liuzhou's tax exemption and the method of attracting return, many masters admire it in their hearts. The guys in front of me who are not doing business for a day are so strong that they don't know where to go.

As for the rumor about the living corpse
Although he also thought it was absurd, he didn't take it as completely as these people did. He still had some doubts in his heart. After all, he was a scholar, so he knew a little about ghosts.

Thinking of the letter saying that in the dark of night, those living corpses are active. A group of masters looked at the sky at this time and frowned unconsciously.

"My lords." A grey-bearded teacher stood up and held a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Tomorrow there will be a quiz in the academy, and we shouldn't be greedy. We have to go back and make more preparations. Please forgive me for spoiling the fun!"

Someone took the lead, and the masters at that table also got up one after another, while the rest of the non-government masters saw it and wanted to learn, but they didn't have that much confidence and fell into hesitation.

The officials who were laughing and cursing were taken aback when they saw this, and Gu Beiquan, the leader, looked very unhappy at that time.

But this old master in his early years has a very high reputation in Luling County, and the reason is very legitimate, making Gu Beiquan hold his breath in his throat, unable to get up or down.

"Masters, I'm afraid you remember it wrong?" Liu Yiqi smiled and said, "I remember the college quiz, isn't it the day after tomorrow?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became weird, and the faces of the masters also became ugly. Is this Liu deliberately trying to cause a stalemate or something?
It's all over here, it's not good to break up if you give each other a step, why do you have to expose it like this?I just insist on leaving, and you still want to put a knife around our necks and force us to accompany us for a drink?
What a fool!
Seeing that they were exposed, the tempers of several masters also became angry. The master who was the first to speak just now cupped his hands coldly: "Liu Jiaoyu really has a good memory. If that's the case, why don't you ask Liu Jiaoyu for the quiz in the future?" It's unseemly to be in a state of drunkenness!"

As he spoke, he didn't even wait for a reply, and as soon as the wine glass was put away, he didn't bother to drink the newly filled wine, so he walked away!

The other official teachers also gave a sneer and said goodbye one after another, only seeing Gu Beiquan and others with ashen faces.

Liu Yiqi stood there in embarrassment, his face turned blue and white.

"These sour old people, what airs are they putting on?" Liu Yiqi was stunned for a while and then angrily slapped the table: "Even the young minister of Dali Temple was polite when he saw me. What kind of person do these country masters really think they are?"

As soon as these words came out, no one responded in the hall. Although those who were familiar with Liu Yiqi were also angry with those old masters, they couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard Liu Yiqi's words. Qing took an exam at the same time, and when he happened to see him, he gave him two points and called Brother Qi, he really took it seriously
It can be seen that after he became an official, he treated you to a drink?

And when it comes to the relationship with Wang Ye, many people can see that when Chen Qing left the capital, Wang Ye went out of the city to see him off.
Just as the atmosphere was delicate, a sudden gust of inexplicable cold wind hit. Everyone who was already hot from drinking couldn't help shivering, and looked outside inexplicably.

Before I knew it, the sky had turned dark.
Seeing that no one responded to his words just now, Liu Yiqi was embarrassed. Seeing everyone looking outside, he immediately smiled and said, "Then Chen Qing said in his letter that those living corpses would go down the river. It's night now. Our restaurant It also happens to be by the river, and I want to see what the living corpse that Chen Qing is talking about looks like."

But the strange thing is that no one replied to him this time.

Liu Yiqi was immediately annoyed: "What? Those sour and smelly old people don't want to show off your face, so now you still have to blame me?"

"Liu Yiqi!" Gu Beiquan, who was standing by the window, was extremely pale at this moment, and directly lowered his voice and shouted softly, "Stop talking!"

"Huh?" Liu Yiqi was stunned, and his heart suddenly became angry. He was about to curse with the strength of alcohol, but suddenly saw everyone covering their mouths and waving at him.

This weird situation made him suddenly feel that something was wrong, he moved over cautiously and looked under the window, he was instantly startled into a cold sweat, and most of him woke up after a drink!

From the riverside under the window, a large group of soaked people climbed out at some point, their movements were deformed and their eyes were scarlet, staring at their restaurant standing by the river!
