Chapter 24
Speaking of this, Qi Xi thought of what he had ordered before, and asked, "By the way, it has been two days. Have you found where the immortal master was before he entered the mansion?"

Qingsong shook his head and replied: "Master, the whereabouts of the immortal master in Jishui County have been found out. The immortal master appeared at the pier at noon two days ago. After seeing the reward list we hung on the bulletin board, he came to Qishui after a little inquiring. The mansion, and then the matter is that the master has personally experienced it."

Qingsong paused for a moment, and then said: "Jishui County is our territory, the intelligence system is complete, and the whereabouts of the immortal master is easy to check. As for how the immortal master came to the dock, it involves forces outside Jishui County. The intelligence system is beyond its capabilities. So..."

"Incapable? As long as there are enough people dispatched, how could they be incapable? Send all the local intelligence personnel from Jishui County to find out all the whereabouts of the immortal master!" Qi Xi said dissatisfied.

"Master, Jishui County may be a bit uneasy because of the news of the spirit eagle recently. If a large number of people are transferred to leave Jishui County, there may be loopholes in the intelligence system. If there is a problem..."

Jishui County has been run by the Qi family of Jishui for thousands of years, and it is already as strong as an iron bucket. How could something go wrong?

"Spirit Eagle Communication" was a decision he made after deliberation. It was related to the family's plan for a thousand years. Even if people's hearts were temporarily unstable and there were slight disturbances, it was still acceptable.

What Qingsong said was completely questioning his decision-making!

Qi Zhi didn't need to explain to guards like Qingsong why he did this, he just needed to know that Qingsong was questioning his decision and his authority had been shaken.

This touched his reverse scale.

Qi Shi squinted his eyes, stared at Qingsong, and gently hooked his right index finger. When Qingsong saw it, he immediately bent forward and put his ear close to Qi Shi. Qi Li patted Qingsong's shoulder lightly, and said softly: " Do as I say!"

The moment Qingsong was photographed, her whole body shuddered, and she replied with a shiver: "Yes, the villain will arrange it immediately!"

……

Dianhua stood in front of the courtyard gate of Tao Ranju, looking at the three carriages parked in front of him with a dazed expression. One was a beautiful and elegant carriage with exquisite materials and appearance. The two carriages were obviously not as good as the ones in front A good car with a so-so exterior.

Although the three carriages had obvious differences, the eagle head emblem of Qi Mansion was engraved on the conspicuous position of the carriages, which showed that they came from Qi Mansion and were the carriages of Qi Mansion.

Dianhua thought that he could just leave Qi Mansion just like he did when he came to Qi Mansion, but he didn't expect to need three carriages just like moving house.

Qing He was directing the strong servants to move things to the two carriages behind.

"Put this in the back carriage."

"Put this on the carriage in the middle, and handle it with care, it's fragile."

Taking advantage of the gap, Dianhua asked Qinghe, "Pindao only has this outfit, and he doesn't have many salutes. Why do he need three carriages to salute?"

Qing He patiently explained: "Master Dao, the slaves have already inquired about it. The Jishui Temple is basically deserted. There is nothing there. The carriage in the middle is filled with these. It is the necessities of your life. The carriage in the back It’s pretending to be a salute between me and Qingzhu. These things are the result of the servants’ simplification as much as possible, and nothing can be missing.”

Dianhua also didn't ask whether he had Mr. Qi's consent to move things directly from Qi's mansion?Didn't even ask if it was inappropriate to do so?
Because the answer is obvious.

How could they move these things without Master Qi's consent in the Qi Mansion?As for whether it's appropriate or not, with Master Qi's attitude towards him, he wished that he felt inappropriate so that he could owe more favors.

"Where's the carriage in front?" Dianhua asked, pointing to the exquisite carriage in front.

"This one is for you. It is the carriage that the master usually takes when he goes out, and it is also one of the best carriages in Qi Mansion."

After hearing Qinghe's answer, Dianhua was speechless for a while, this Master Qi really... made Dianhua feel so burdened!
Looking at the people coming and going, looking at the three carriages in front of him: "I never thought that traveling in ancient society would be such a hassle!"

Thinking of the frequent going out, business trips, or even moving in modern society, such convenient travel, and then compare it with the present: "No wonder people in ancient times were all nerds and nerds who didn't want to go out. This travel is really troublesome!"

After more than a day of recuperation, Qing Zhu's injury has healed a lot. Hearing the new arrangement from Qing He, he didn't complain, and directly got into the carriage in the middle, and slowly packed the gifts that were brought into the carriage.

After an hour, everything was packed before we could set off.

Under the skillful driving of the groom, the carriage slowly drove out from the back door and left the Qi residence.

Lifting the curtain of the car window, Dianhua watched the carriage slowly pass Taoranju through several spacious gravel roads, and passed through the magnificent wooden gate. According to Qing He, this gate is the back gate of Qi Mansion.

"Finally leaving Qi Mansion!" Dianhua felt a burst of relief the moment he left Qi Mansion.

Although there are servants serving in the Qi Mansion, who stretch out their hands for clothes and open their mouths for food, life is more comfortable than before crossing, but Qi Mansion is not Dianhua's mansion, it's just a place where guests live, not a place to live for a long time!

……

Dianhua passed through the car window, and the pedestrians who saw people outside saw the Qi Mansion's carriage, and immediately bowed their heads in a salute like a conditioned reflex, retreated to both sides of the road, and respectfully made way for the carriage.

From this we can see how distinct the class in this world is, it is the social law of this world, and the concept of class is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is natural for ordinary people to bow and avoid people like Qifu, expressing their obedience to the ruling class.

After leaving the street where the Qi Mansion is located, the buildings on both sides of the street gradually become smaller and smaller, the walls are getting shorter and shorter, and there are more and more pedestrians on the road, but there are also more and more patches on the pedestrians' clothes, and their faces are more and more small. It's getting worse and worse, but the same thing is that when seeing the Qi Mansion's carriage passing by, they will immediately bow and avoid it as a show of respect.

The Qi Mansion is in the south of the city, and now we are going to the north of the city, and the wharf in Jishui County is also in the north of the city.If it is placed in a modern society, then the north of the city with a dock and convenient transportation should be very prosperous, and the housing prices should be high. However, the ancient world is obviously different from the modern one. The sparsely populated south of the city is the place where big families like Qifu live, bustling and lively. To the north of the city is the place where common people and lowly merchants live.

The carriage stopped in front of a three-story building with an area of ​​one mu and a thriving business. Dianhua saw the plaque on which read: "Qifu Restaurant".

Qing He said: "Master Daoist, this is the restaurant that Master bestowed upon Daoist Master."

Looking at the area, the location, and the flow of people, it is obvious that this restaurant is very profitable, and it is not an industry that is losing money and is about to close its doors.

That's right, Qi Zhi gave the restaurant to curry favor with him, how could he give away a money-losing property?

Whether making money or losing money, these things are not important to Dianhua who has a golden finger.

"You live here...go on and go to Jishuiguan." Dianhua obviously didn't have the idea of ​​going in to take a look at Xinde's property, so he said to Qinghe and put down the curtains.

Qing He saw that Taoist Master Dianhua had closed his eyes and rested his mind, and understood that Taoist Master Dianhua had made up his mind, so he could only say: "Yes, Taoist priest, this slave will go down and make arrangements."

A quarter of an hour later, Qinghe came back, and the carriage set off again. This time, there were only two carriages left. The carriage that stored Qinghe and Qingzhu to salute had already entered Qifu Restaurant, and the Qingzhu on the carriage entered Qifu Restaurant, no more follow.

The carriage drove for another quarter of an hour, arrived at the northwest corner of the county seat, and stopped in front of a small hill seven to eight feet high.

The hill was in the shape of an irregular triangle, with a small slope on one side and a steeper slope on the other. They stopped on the side with a small slope.This mountain is less than two miles away from the north city wall, and standing at the foot of the mountain, you can even see the five or six-meter-high city wall not far away.
