Chapter 139 Name Rein and Profit Lock
Qi Jingyi held the golden-eyed water scorpion upside down in one hand, and supported the witch goddess in the other. He stomped hard with both feet, and after a long while, he finally broke through the river and saw the sun again.

At this moment, the banks of the Xunjiang River were already full of people, and there were still people coming from far away in an endless stream. When they saw Qi Jingzhi and others stepping out of the water, the crowd immediately stirred up and made noise.

However, as the young swordsman set foot on the river bank step by step, many people could clearly see his green ghost mask, and the golden-eyed water slug with a shriveled body and weak breath in his hand.

The voice of shouting and talking gradually weakened, and finally became silent.

The sorceress stumbled out two steps, and suddenly fell to the ground as limp as if she had lost her bones, spitting out muddy river water from her mouth.

Not far in front of her, more than a dozen wounded were lying on the river beach in a haphazard manner. Several doctors were rushing around these people. The splint looks extremely busy.

Among these doctors, there are serious doctors sitting in the clinic, and wandering doctors who sell medicines in the rivers and lakes. Obviously, all the people around Qu'e Town who can see a doctor and treat injuries have been called here.

Qi Jingzhi raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that although the people surrounding the bank were silent, they had different expressions on their faces.

Most of them didn't dare to look directly at the young swordsman with the face of a silver armor ghost, so they turned their attention to the golden-eyed water scorpion.

In the strange silence, some people showed resentment, some looked happy, some felt fear and even sneaked into the crowd behind them, and more people were curious and excited, stretching their necks and cocking their feet forward Head squeezed.

The hundreds of thousands of gazes gathered together, seemed to become extremely heavy.Rao had a cruel and surly temperament like a golden-eyed squirrel, but he also felt a little uncomfortable, twisted his body slightly, and even closed those strange golden eyes.

Qi Jingshang took a few steps forward, loosened his right hand, and let the golden-eyed waterdrop fall to the ground, lying side by side with a bloodstained boatman.

Seeing this scene, someone among the crowd who had been quiet for a long time suddenly shouted: "Good fight!"

After the voice fell, the surrounding audience was silent for a moment, and suddenly there was a tsunami and thunderous cheers.

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help being surprised, and immediately bowed to the crowd, which immediately attracted applause, from near to far, and then rested for a long time.

Wei Yingdian and Mo Gong rushed forward to meet him, the former was in high spirits, while the latter was worried.

Holding a bowl of rice wine in his hand, Wei Yingdian laughed loudly as he walked: "Your good fight! These water gods have been domineering for a long time, and they are the ones who give the Ministry of Rites the most problems every year, but there are not many big water houses If you don’t go beyond the rules, you still dare to wantonly oppress the people now, you should have learned some lessons long ago!”

He said, handing the wine bowl to Qi Jingzhi with both hands: "Just now I have not had enough time to make a strong performance for my virtuous brother, now let's congratulate my virtuous brother on his triumphant return with this bowl of Qu'a rice wine!"

Qi Jingzhi also took it with both hands, passed the wine bowl to his mouth and drank it down, the green ghost mask on his face was completely unobstructed, Wei Yingdian was amazed to see it.

The otter on the side first bent down to look at the golden-eyed water slug, seeing that although it was described as miserable, it still couldn't die for a while, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He straightened up, half rejoicing and half regretting: "Finally, your honor has acted properly, there is still room for redemption in this matter."

"Brother Wei, wait a moment, wait until this matter is settled, and then have a drink with the old man!"

Qi Jingzhi handed the wine bowl back to Wei Yingdian, and said with a smile to the old man, "You are too young to be respectful, so you should call me Qi Jingzhi. Now there are many wounded people on both sides, it is really inconvenient to go to the county to report to the county officials. I'm afraid I can't be the master. I have to trouble Gong Gong to try to inform the county guard, Zhenmo captain and Xunjiang water god, so that these adults can come here to discuss a regulation."

"Qi is just sitting here today, and I will bear the consequences if I respond. I will run away without patting my ass, and the people of Qu'a Town will suffer for no reason."

After finishing speaking, he went to find a square stone and sat down on his own.

"What are you talking about, Brother Xian!"

Wei Yingdian stomped his feet, and followed immediately: "Xunyang County is Brother Yu's hometown, and my virtuous brother stood up for the elders in my village, how can I let you shoulder the burden afterwards? It's still the same sentence, if Jiang Shen commits a crime, Brother Yu is willing to share it with you!"

Mr. Otter also followed, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid those adults won't come! The old man said before that the Lake God of the Qujiang Lake is a pawn laid by the imperial court in the Xunjiang area."

As he said, he cast his eyes on the golden-eyed water squirrel on the ground beside him: "It and the old man who guards the lake are naturally the pawns of the river god and the lake god. Now that our pawns are not damaged and our skin is not really torn, this matter is nothing How could the chess player behind him end the game in person?"

Qi Jingzhi was startled when he heard the words, pointed to the golden-eyed water scorpion and asked: "Is this also called undamaged?"

He pointed to the wounded again: "Isn't this a big deal?"

Otter Gongli nodded of course: "The reason why the chess piece is a chess piece is because it is on the chessboard and stood at the position where the chess player placed the piece. Now the chess piece is still on the chessboard, and the position of one piece is not lost. Naturally, it is not damaged."

"It's easy to break the tacit understanding between Jiang and one county, but it's hard to restore it. Those adults will either come together, or none of them will come. At least until the situation becomes clear, no one will come because of the old man. The letter came rashly."

Mr. Otter also pointed at the wounded: "Now only a few people have been injured, and only a few people have been injured. No matter what, it's not a big deal..."

After all, Wei Yingdian was an official in the capital, and he had a wide range of knowledge, so he understood what Mr. Otter meant, but he couldn't help but look suspiciously at the other party, and immediately interrupted: "What a situation. Before it becomes clear! Mr. Otter is not trying to persuade my brother to give that evil to..."

Wei Yingdian made a gesture of wiping his neck: "In this way, won't Xunjiang Water God's pawn be damaged? If the matter gets serious, won't it be clear? Those adults can't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, they must rush over here in a hurry Already!"

"What are you talking about? Is this old man such a villain with ulterior motives?"

Hearing the words, Mr. Otter couldn't help being angry: "If brother Qi accidentally killed this servant of God out of righteous indignation, either on the boat or at the bottom of the river, it would be more or less excusable. Wei Shang can turn things around on your behalf. If we want to do something now, we won't take it for granted! Are you really not afraid that Jiang Shen will be angry and flood the sky and ruin hundreds of miles?"

"Don't think that the old man is alarmist. It has only been a matter of nearly one or two hundred years since the two sides of the Xunjiang River have truly stabilized! The current Jiangshen is a rare good-tempered person, but no matter how good-tempered he is, he is also the Jiangshen, and Xun was appointed by the lord of the country. The lord of the river, the god of one side!"

As Mr. Otto spoke, he even looked at Qi Jingyi with some concern, and his tone was filled with reminders and persuasion: "Compared to the real tearing of the face, now it is only a servant of the gods, a dozen or so who are on the river. Ordinary people looking for a living are really nothing!"

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help being silent when he heard the words.

Although there was a chill that penetrated the bone marrow in Mr. Otter's words, but after careful consideration, it was not unreasonable.No matter what those big figures think about is their own official position or the life and death of more people in their jurisdiction, I am afraid that they will not act rashly and cause misunderstandings on the other side. Instead, they will restrain the struggle between them at the bottom and maintain a struggle It is safest if it is not broken.

"Based on righteous indignation... a momentary miss? In the future, I will know what to do when I meet someone who wants to die!"

Qi Jingzhi nodded towards Mr. Otter, and saw the old man staring at him tongue-tiedly, with an indescribable expression on his face.

Qi Jingzhi didn't wait for the other party to speak, and suddenly changed the subject: "Grandfather, if there is a chess piece that is selfish and deceives the master, it almost overturns the chessboard? Can these chess players still sit still?"

He said and pointed to the river: "Here is a stele of Zhanjiao Zhensha hidden at the bottom of the river. Found to be occupied, it does not allow people to fish nearby, but not necessarily for its roe and grandchildren, but to cover up its traces and monopolize its profits!"

Regarding Qi Jingzhi's so-called "selfishness, betraying the master and bullying", Mr. Mo didn't take it seriously at first. He only said that he was talking about the rules of prohibiting fishing. When he heard "cutting the stele of the town", his face suddenly became serious. In the end, his face sank like water.

He immediately said in a deep voice: "If brother Qi's words are true, it should be that the opening of the lake changed the surrounding water veins and topography, which made the town's evil stele go wrong. It will cause a catastrophe, and make Zeguo ghosts and ghosts stand in this river and lake!"

When he said this, Mr. Otter suddenly turned his head to look at the golden-eyed water scorpion, his eyes were already a bit stern.Xunjiang and Qu'ahou Lake are already connected, but they are so close to each other. He is responsible for guarding the lake. How can there be eggs under the overturned nest?

Qi Jingzhi stood aside, carefully observing the changes in the face of Mr. Otter, and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and it did not look like he had known about it for a long time.

This made Qi Jingzhi feel a little relieved, but he still didn't rush to tell the lake guard that Jiao Sha had been eliminated, but shook his head: "If it is true as Mr. Rex said, it may not be a natural disaster, it may be a man-made disaster!"

"Huh? Man-made disaster!"

Hearing the word "man-made disaster", Mr. Otter's face became even more ashen. He obviously thought of a more frightening possibility, that is, when the site of Kaihu Lake was selected, someone deliberately concealed the existence of the Zhensha Monument. Let the relevant insiders keep silent, and cover up the noise when the lake was opened, manipulated the water veins and terrain, and quietly released the Jiaosha.

The lake guard immediately shook his head resolutely, and said harshly: "This is absolutely impossible! There are so many people staring at such a big event as opening the lake, and it is as difficult as going to heaven to try to do something in it without being noticed! It must be Because the age of this evil stele is too long, no one remembers the ups and downs, so something went wrong..."

Mr. Otter suddenly stopped, and his face became extremely ugly. Even if the matter is really as he said, no one is behind the scenes, but once the matter becomes a big deal and it reaches the ears of the king, the man who personally inspected the terrain and asked to open the lake The former sheriff and future lake god of the former county guard must also be guilty of negligence!
Although no calamities have been caused yet, but the position of the Lake God is in front, and impeachment attacks are absolutely indispensable in the court!

Qi Jingzhi couldn't comprehend this change of state of mind in a hurry.

He just said that this matter was a man-made disaster, but it was not as far-reaching as the other party thought.

He just felt that the two most important characters on the Zhensha Monument had obviously been intentionally damaged. The word "Pang" had a dot on Longting, and the character "Mei" stood vertically on the forehead. Compared with other places, they were obviously worn out. Absolutely no coincidence.

As for who did it, maybe it was the sinister golden-eyed water squirrel who ate the dragons, maybe someone else, but in short, they didn't have any good intentions.

Fortunately, there were not many Jiaosha left, and it was stolen and monopolized by the golden-eyed water locust, so it didn't cause any disturbances. The water god of Xunjiang sent this scoundrel to guard the mouth of the lake, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything and hitting the right way.

From this point of view alone, although the golden-eyed water scorpion may not have the heart to protect the people, it has fulfilled its duty of guarding invisibly.

Just looking at the behavior of the group of dragons that ate the host in a hurry, you can know how big the hidden danger of the "diligence" of the golden-eyed water scorpion is. If there is no bronze mirror to plow the court to sweep the hole, Xunjiang will definitely have troubles in the future.

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi shook his head and said: "It's really impossible to know the inside story of this matter in a hurry, but after all, the matter is of great importance, Mr. Otter should send a letter first, and wait for the adults to come and then make a fuss about it. The two issues of concealment and non-reporting of evil obstacles, and of being vicious and hurting people should be resolved together."

Hearing this, Mr. Otter immediately shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I think it's better not to spread the word about this matter. In my opinion, since the stele of suppressing evil is at the bottom of the Xunjiang River, we can't control it too much." Kuan, just tell Xunjiang Water God in private..."

Qi Jingzhi was stunned immediately. Previously, it could be said that there was a tacit understanding among the high-level officials to avoid conflicts, and he would not come even if he sent a letter, but now he has informed some of the inside information. Signaling?
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help feeling suspicious, and immediately turned his head to look at Wei Yingdian: "Brother Wei, how do you think this matter should be handled properly?"

Wei Yingdian listened quietly for a long time, and he had heard of and seen court battles to some extent, so he knew better than Qi Jingzhi at this moment.

He glanced at Mr. Otter, who had a terrible expression on his face, and couldn't help but feel emotional, how could the lake guard in front of him now look like that otherworldly expert before?
Laughing white hair is still entangled with sharp locks, and the red dust is not as good as the fishing coir!
The lake keeper has already had gray hair all over his head, but he is still bound by fame and fortune. He seems to be enjoying himself by fishing by the river every day, eating rice wine and white chicken, but he is not less polluted by the world of mortals. There are even more ordinary people!
After pondering for a while, this open-minded and free-spirited former doctor of the Ministry of Rites who resigned from office and returned to his hometown in his prime sighed softly, and said with a very rare solemn expression: "This is a big matter, and it is related to the lives and deaths of countless people. How can we use it for our own purposes? , Arbitrary? Mr. Otto said that he must inform Jiang Shen, which is naturally true, please act quickly!"

He paused for a moment, then looked at Qi Jingzhi again: "Since my dear brother is from the Department of Demon Academy in Linzhou Town, and this time he is away on business, I think there must be an emergency communication method, so please use it immediately, and ask the Demon Town of Xunyang County to help you." The captain is here!"

"As for the sheriff of this county, he may not be willing to step into the muddy waters of his predecessor. It's the same whether he comes or not!"
