Chapter 70
"ignore him!"

Liu Muzhi's expression darkened immediately: "I have already made a decision on this matter. If there is no captain and I nodding, no one is allowed to move the silver cellar!"

Hearing this, the two men who returned to the official office to report the case quietly looked at each other, surprised but also faintly delighted.

The young meritorious officer ignored the small movements of the two subordinates, turned his head to look at Qi Jingzhi and said, "It seems that they are indeed two different cases. Qi arrived early, so what else can he find about the case of Li Huang's sudden death? "

Qi Jingzhi's expression remained unchanged, he immediately shook his head, and said in a solemn tone: "Before Li Huang died, he only said about getting lost on horseback and meeting Miss Yuan's mansion. His butler was present to observe the whole process, so the lord must have checked it out."

"When Li Huang died, there was a sudden smell of snakes in the house. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to avoid it. I didn't find anything else."

Li Huang's death is obviously related to the theft of Qinghonggong's jade pillow. Jin Daowei followed him all the way.

Liu Muzhi didn't expect Qi Jingzhi, who had almost no experience, after hearing this, he nods his head slightly, and walks to the East Value Room: "If that's the case, the case of the strange smell in Li Yuan's Grottoes is considered a crime." It's over, Qi Dutou will follow me in first to sign the bond."

Speaking of which, the case of the Li family's Kongyuan was originally a nomination certificate to deepen the trust between the two parties. There was no bounty, and it was an unexpected joy for Qi Jingzhi to get a badge of arresting criminals.

Naturally, he had no objection, and without hesitation, he signed his name at the end of the file that was still mostly empty, and bid farewell to Liu Muzhi.

The young meritocracy was already preoccupied with the case of Li Huang's sudden death, and he had no time to exchange pleasantries, let alone send Qi Jingzhi out as he did yesterday. He only said that he would send a letter to Songling County after he was reassigned in the future. Ya.

Qi Jingzhi walked out of the gate of the official office alone, looked back at the still empty courtyard and the towering Linde Pavilion behind the courtyard, and felt that one thing was over, and he felt much relieved.

In fact, he could team up with Xiao Wazi and Lao Wei to take the gold and silver in the silver cellar as his own, and at the worst, he could transport a considerable amount away without anyone noticing. What does it matter to him how much the Li family can keep?
It's just that when he thinks of Wan'er, Qi Jingzhi can't feel the slightest thought of reaching out, and he doesn't even want those gold and silver to fall into the hands of corrupt officials.

It doesn't matter if you say he is naive or hypocritical, in short, Qi Jingzhi did it when he thought about it, otherwise, if he couldn't understand even such a thought, then being free and easy would be nothing but self-deceiving empty words.

He didn't delay any longer, and quickly left the city from the west gate, and saw two figures, one old and one young, beside the official road from a distance.

At this moment, Jindao Wei and Jiao Yulang were facing away from the city gate, whispering something while pointing with their arms outstretched.

At the moment, Qi Jingzhi looked in the direction of the two's fingers, but saw a wide official road extending straight to the west in the wilderness, with no end in sight.

In the far distance, you can see the rolling green mountains, connecting the sky and the earth, stretching across the north and south.

The land is thick and vast, and the mountains are silent and silent, but there is a wild and unruly wildness hidden in it, which has spawned countless evil spirits, water monsters and mountain spirits.

Looking at it, the young man suddenly felt a rush of pride.

"The rivers and mountains are as magnificent as this. Nine generations of ancient kings led countless heroes to develop for more than two thousand years, but they still haven't completed their achievements. I, Qi Jing, was born in this world and crashed into the rivers and lakes. I always hate demons raging and harming innocent people. I should cut them with my sword. Break the demon atmosphere, tame the mountains and rivers, and don't let the sages be more beautiful than before!"

Therefore, when Jindao Wei and Jiao Yulang saw Qi Jingzhi again, they were stunned for a moment, feeling that there had been some inexplicable change in the young man in front of them.

This feeling seems to have no reason, but it is true.

A look of suspicion appeared on Jiao Yulang's face, and then he was shocked by a guess in his heart: "Brother, your heart is done?"

Xiaowazi is very clear, the elder brother of the Qi family once admitted that he has practiced for less than a month!
Qi Jingzhi shook his head with a smile: "How can it be so easy? I went to the Zhenmodu Lieutenant's office this time, just in time for Liu Gongcao to be in a good mood, and he gave me a few pointers. After I came out of the official office, I thought about it all the way until I saw With the mountain scenery in the distance, I have a broad mind, and this is what I get suddenly."

The young man paused, and before Jiao Yulang could breathe a sigh of relief, he continued, "But it seems to be coming soon, and there's something about it."

Jiao Yulang hesitated, and tried his luck before opening his mouth: "So that's the reason! I know that the meritorious service that my brother said was done by Liu Muzhi. He used to be a well-known young talent in the family, although he seems to have been depressed in recent years. , gradually not being mentioned much, but it is more than enough to point out the cultivation of the strong life realm."

"There is also the Liu family of Yuzhou who he was born in. Although he is not a descendant of Shengjiang Miao, it is said that he has a long history, and the background is naturally profound. It's just that the Liu family does not command the army, and he has an unflattering arrogance. I have nothing to do with my family, and I don’t know what happened.”

"The Liu family of Yuzhou?"

Listening to Xiaowazi's voice, the Chaozhou Jiao family and the Yuzhou Liu family seemed to hate each other.

It's not surprising if you think about it carefully, after all, the two families clearly have differences in their attitudes towards the aquarium.

The Liu family of Yuzhou believes that the river dragons are domineering and unruly, an extension of the wild nature of the earth, and the Jiao family of Chaozhou is the adoptive mother of Jiang Jun's son. It is strange that the two families can see each other well.

Qi Jingzhi silently wrote down this, and secretly compared Liu Muzhi and Jiao Yulang, the two aristocratic families.

Young meritorious officials have rules when walking, sitting and lying down. When Qi Jingzhi was not familiar with him, he never showed his teeth with a grin. He seemed very well-bred. Exuding condescending arrogance.

It's no wonder that the animal husbandry word in his name may have originally meant to shepherd the people on behalf of the country's lord, so naturally it would not be too down-to-earth.

In contrast, Xiaowazi is obviously more casual, and has more compassion for the low-level people and quack warlocks, so he seems a bit extreme.

In Qi Jingzhi's mind, perhaps as a family of military lords, the children of the Jiao family in Chaozhou hang out more with the rough guys in the army, and their posture is lower and they don't pay so much attention.

Such a casual and tyrannical family doesn't care much about the schemes of the country's leader, the rise and fall of the gods, and getting closer to Jiang Jun's son-in-law, it seems... makes sense?

As for the inside story, it is not something that Qi Jingzhi can delve into.

Although he got closer to Jiao Yulang after he came out of the silver cellar, he was still not qualified to point fingers at such a major matter related to the rise and fall of the family.

Jindao Wei on the side was full of envy when he heard it, and said with hope in his voice: "My old Wei has been groping for most of his life, but he still hasn't touched the door of the heart. Brother Qi, can you tell me about it? What the hell is it? Can a bone really grow out of the human heart?"

Qi Jingzhi looked at Jindaowei, and saw that although his words were humorous, his face was full of desire and sincerity.

The young man couldn't help but think of Jiao Yulang's description of the hardships of the quack warlock's practice, and he couldn't bear it.

He thought for a while, and then replied: "Actually, I can't describe it well. I can't do it right if I talk nonsense. The feeling I have now is like a seed buried in the ground, which has begun to take root and germinate. Plunge into the depths of the earth, struggling to get out of the soil."

Jin Knife Wei understood the image of what the young man said, and he couldn't help showing a bit of disappointment on his face: "Hey! I've read the "Gong Geng Pu" in the Town Demon Academy a long time ago, and I remember the principles well. , but after so many years, if you don’t succeed, you won’t succeed!”

Qi Jingzhi was not surprised when he heard the words. Jindao Wei is a famous magician in several states, but he must have practiced all the skills that can be exchanged from Zhenmoyuan.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help being a little moved, and immediately asked directly: "Old Wei, there is another method of 'The Heart is as Peaceful as a Lake, and the Wisher Takes the Hook' in the Town Demon Academy. Have you ever read it?"
