Chapter 37
Hearing this, Wan Dutou hurriedly waved and scolded, and drove out the several government officials who were carrying the tiger bed.

Xiong County Magistrate breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, and smiled at everyone: "Taifeng has been practicing Buddhism with his mother since he was a child, and he eats very little meat, let alone seeing this bloody thing, it makes everyone laugh. .”

As he said that, he picked up his wine glass and smiled at old man Qi: "The grandson brought up by the old man is so amazing, Xiong admires him so much! Everyone, follow me to toast my husband!"

When the old man Qi was facing the county officials in the hall, he was still able to argue with reason, but now he was not stage-frightened. He immediately smiled heartily, raised his head and drained the wine in his glass.

Xiong Taifeng also drank it down, and immediately applauded loudly: "The old man is so proud, it is true that every ancestor must have a grandson!"

Everyone followed suit and drank a glass. Jiao Yulang had already raised his glass, but Qi Jingzhi gave him a glaring look, and immediately put the wine glass back with a shy smile.

Wan Dutou got up early, snatched the wine jug from the handmaid who was serving at the side, and filled it up for everyone one by one.

Xiong Taifeng raised his glass again and looked at Master Meng: "I heard that nephew Qi Xian is your favorite student? This second cup, I will congratulate Master Meng!"

Master Meng raised his glass with a smile neither humble nor overbearing: "Thank you for the kindness of the county, Meng is ashamed to accept it!"

Now everyone had another drink, Xiong Taifeng raised his glass and looked at Qi Jingzhi, with a more friendly smile on his face.

"Nephew, Mr. Dong of the Wuyun Division once said that the fierce tiger on Nangang has become a climate, and it is absolutely invincible. You have single-handedly eliminated this great harm. Come, come, come, I will toast you on behalf of all the elders in the county! "

Qi Jingzhi saw that Xiong Taifeng was the county magistrate, and he had absolutely no official authority in his whole body. He first respected his grandfather, then his wife, and now he came to respect himself. It was really hard not to have a good impression of him.

Although he is a young man in the mountains, although he is born with pride and has embarked on the path of cultivation, he has never purged his mortal thoughts as Jiao Yulang said. Facing this situation, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "When I never practiced, A mere yamen servant dared to blackmail me, and now he is killing a tiger, the county magistrate personally hosted a banquet and toasted him, and even that domineering classic history has become an accompanying guest, people in this world are really fickle!"

As the thought flashed, the boy had already had his third glass of wine.

This is the first time in his life that he drank alcohol, he only felt that after the liquor entered his mouth, it was both sweet and spicy, and there was a line of fire passing through his intestines, causing the arrogance in his chest to surge, it was actually similar to the Minghe method. .

For a while, Qi Jingzhi only hated that the cup was too small to enjoy himself to the full.

"Hahaha, my nephew drinks as boldly as my old man, it really is a boy born of a hero!"

Xiong Taifeng praised, turned his head and waved his hands casually, telling the idle maid behind him to step back, and then winked at Hou Dianshi beside him.

Hou Changqi's complexion changed slightly, he stood up immediately, and said to old man Qi: "Hou is impatient, he misunderstood the old man in class earlier, these days he often regrets it, and wished he could replace him with his own body!"

As he spoke, he moved away from the table, and bowed to the old man Qi: "I hope the old man will forgive me if I offend you!"

With such an apology, the lively scene in the flower hall immediately cooled down.

Songling County is only a small county, and the two positions of county magistrate and chief bookkeeper have either been abolished or vacated, and Dian Shi is the second person under the county magistrate.

Qi Jingzhi was used to being wild in the mountains, so he didn't have much thought of superiority and inferiority at first, but he followed Master Meng to read and understand, and he naturally knew in his heart that if Xiong Taifeng was just condescending to the nobles and respecting the virtuous and corporal, then Hou Changqi's behavior at this moment is even worse. I don't want the dignity of the imperial court officials at all.

Thinking of this, doubts arose in the young man's heart.

When he was in the mountains, Jiao Yulang had already instilled in him the theory that quack warlocks are as cheap as wild dogs. With the Town Demon Academy, quack warlocks and even ordinary practitioners would not dare to provoke court officials easily, and Lu Yunzi was rampant for a while. , Didn't he fall into an ambush and almost die?

Even if he, Qi Jingzhi, is a stunned young man who doesn't know the power of the Town Demon Academy, Hou Changqi can ask Master Meng to make things up for him, and he can always keep a bit of dignity, right?

Seeing Hou Dianshi being so submissive, the old man Qi has been open-minded all his life, and he has a temper that is soft and not hard, and most of the anger in his stomach has disappeared, but he is old and smart, knowing that Master Dianshi is not attacking him, so he is not in a hurry to speak , but turned to look at his grandson.

Qi Jingzhi turned his probing eyes to Master Meng who had never spoken beside him. After all, this teacher seemed to have some friendship with Hou Changqi, so it was better not to make him look too ugly.

Sensing the student's gaze, Master Meng immediately smiled and said calmly, "What do you see me doing? This is your own business, and you can decide for yourself."

Qi Jingzhi nodded, looked at Hou Changqi who was still bowing down, and said, "My grandfather never cared about some grievances. But since Mr. Hou said that he wished to replace him with his body, he should also accept the twenty sticks. In order to avoid regrets that are hard to get rid of and worry about every day, it will be the fault of our grandparents!"

As soon as he said this, Xiong Taifeng and Wandutou's faces were unavoidably ugly, but Meng Fuzi and Jiao Yulang both looked like they had known this before, and old man Qi showed a worried look on his face, hesitating to speak.

Hou Changqi straightened up abruptly, and said to Xiong Taifeng with a slightly stiff tone: "I also ask the county lord for permission, Hou will go and call the two yamen servants to the back hall."

His complexion was already a little dark, but now his complexion was obviously a little worse.

Seeing that Hou Dianshi really wanted to lead his own spine, everyone present was a little surprised, and their eyes all focused on Qi Jingzhi.

Qi Jingzhi looked calm, and smiled lightly: "I haven't finished my words. A few days ago, Mr. Hou has promised to remove my family's servants. Grandpa and I are in love with each other. This spine stick..."

Before the young man finished speaking, Xiong Taifeng clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "It's better to get rid of this stick! My nephew repays my grievances with virtue, you are really open-minded! Lao Hou, hurry up and take a seat, let's toast my nephew again!"

Wan Dutou also hurried forward, reaching out to lead Hou Changqi to the seat.

But Hou Changqi waved his hands, shook his head and said, "Repaying grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue? These twenty spine sticks are what Hou deserves."

This man is also interesting, if he was asked to lead the spine staff, he agreed without frowning, but he would not be happy if he was not allowed to lead it.

Qi Jingzhi's eyes flashed, he nodded immediately, and said happily: "Master Hou is so willing to take on the responsibility, our grandparents should be fulfilled, so please."

As soon as these words came out, the whole house was silent.

Rao Xiong Taifeng, an experienced old fritter, also looked stunned at this moment, not knowing what to say.

Hou Changqi froze in place, unable to hide the embarrassment on his face.

"Snapped!"

Meng Fuzi suddenly put the wine glass in his hand on the table heavily, making a crisp sound.

After everyone looked over, he smiled and said, "Master Hou, my student has a clear sense of grievances and filial piety, and it's your fault for making you look so ugly today, so don't take it to heart. The county lord has already sent it down Come on, let’s take a seat quickly.”

After that, he winked at Wandutou.

Wan Dutou immediately understood, seeing that Qi Jingzhi had no intention of objecting, he couldn't help but push the somewhat distraught Hou Dianshi back to his seat.

Qi Jingzhi looked at him coldly, and took the initiative to say: "Master Hou, Xiong Xianzun kindly hosted a banquet today, accompanied by my teacher, Master Meng, and my grandpa is the most kind-hearted. I only want to forgive you for their sake. Once you have suffered, who would have thought that you would be a good boy if you got the advantage! If this is the case, record the power of the twenty scepters, and if you dare to bully the good people in the future, you will be liquidated together with you!"
