Master Li frowned. "What do you know? Nanzhou has just started resettling disaster victims and can only accept 50,000 people. Each county only has 5,000 places. You don't understand the interests involved!"

It is impossible to ask him to ask the prefect for help. The prefect asked him to go to the government office to work yesterday. The prefect is cruel and cunning. Working for him is like trying to get the skin of a tiger.

These people saved his son, and he wanted to give them some money as a reward.

Li Hongyuan stamped his feet. "I don't care. I've already promised them. Do you want me to be a man who goes back on his word?"

Master Li glared at him, his head aching. He slapped his thigh and said, "Forget it. The son's debt must be paid by the father. Just wait!"

He decided to give it a try. With so many people able to escape from over a thousand miles away, their strength should not be underestimated. There must be some very wise people among them. If they could be released into Qingshui County, wouldn't it be a two-pronged approach?

"I would like to ask if there is anyone among you who is in charge and willing to follow me!"

Everyone turned their eyes to Tang Youyou, but she turned her eyes to Patriarch Liu. She didn't want to be the first to show up in such a matter.

In ancient times, the class system was strict and women had a low status. If they knew that she was the leader, not only would she not be able to do things well, but she would also bring about unnecessary disasters, which would be a loss.

Clan leader Liu received her gaze, his expression slightly subtle, and he stepped forward with a bow, "My lord, I am not qualified to go with you to explain the situation."

Master Li waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

When the three of them entered the city, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as they were all worried that the lawyer would not agree to help.

At the same time, in the government office's study, the housekeeper hurried over and whispered a few words in Magistrate Bai's ear.

"Oh? Where are those two people now?"

The butler said respectfully, "In the dungeon!"

"Pah!" "This thing is incapable of doing anything, but more likely to cause trouble. Why keep it around if the job isn't done yet?"

The butler understood, nodded, and prepared to leave without saying anything else.

Only to hear the voice of Bai Zhifu again, "Was his son rescued by those unruly people?"

The butler shook his head and replied uncertainly, "They just said that the boy was with the disaster victims. My lord, a bunch of peasants are nothing to be afraid of!"

Magistrate Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold tone, "Ha... How dare you ruin my good deeds?"

His fingers kept tapping on the table, and after a few breaths, he had an idea.

"The imperial court has issued an order not to drive away the disaster victims. I, the prefect, am truly kindhearted and have allowed them to settle in Qingshui County!"

The housekeeper frowned slightly, "Sir, are you trying to give Master Li a favor?"

Prefect Bai snorted coldly, "Heh... He's really stubborn. I offered him such good conditions, but he still wasn't tempted. So, let him fend for himself!"

The butler was even more confused, "What does your Excellency mean?"

"Have you forgotten Xiangyang Village in Qingshui County? Hahaha..."

"Brilliant, brilliant! Your Excellency is truly resourceful and resourceful, killing two birds with one stone!"

Magistrate Bai was very impressed by this. He stroked his beard and waved his hand, "Go ahead and do it!"

"Yes, sir!"

When Master Li was still wondering why Magistrate Bai was so reasonable, he was suddenly shocked when he heard about Xiangyang Village.

"Butler Bai, may I ask where the Lord is now? I would like to see him!"

The housekeeper was a little embarrassed. "Alas... Brother Li, please don't embarrass me. The prefect is in a bad mood today. You should know the reason. It's a blessing for them to be able to settle in Qingshui County!"

Li Hongyuan frowned, bewildered. Wouldn't it be nice to settle in Qingshui County? Why was his father like this? Was he afraid they'd try to repay him with favors? Wasn't that just judging others by one's own standards?

Master Li slapped his thigh and regretted it deeply. If he had not shown up, the outcome might have been better.

Clan leader Liu, standing by, saw something and asked quietly, "Sir, what's wrong with Xiangyang Village?"

Doesn't the name sound good? Why is Master Li so terrified, as if he were facing a formidable enemy?

"well……"

I could only hear him sighing and not saying a word the whole way.

Li Hongyuan has been holding his breath. In his mind, his father is upright and selfless. What happened today?

"Father, please tell me what's wrong."

Clan leader Liu also stared at him, hoping he would give an answer.

"Xiangyang Village is haunted, it's a ghost village!"

Chief Liu suddenly stopped and grabbed his sleeve, "Sir, this is not a joke!"

Master Li glared at him and said, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Clan leader Liu was speechless and extremely depressed.

When they arrived outside the city, they all looked dejected. Everyone was shocked when they saw them.

"Chief, didn't it work?"

Patriarch Liu shook his head.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and only one person said, "Did he get assigned to a bad place?"

"Oh..." Clan leader Liu squatted on the ground with a sad face.

"Chief, even if it's a little worse, it's still much better than ours!"

"That's right, as long as they are willing to accept us!"

"Hey... We have the strength, what are we afraid of!"

Everyone comforted the patriarch.

Seeing this, Master Li couldn't speak directly, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, come back with me!"

Tang Youyou was puzzled. Qingshui County wasn't a bad place, so why did the three of them all look so worried? Was there something fishy going on?

No, with her temper, I probably won’t be able to sleep tonight if I don’t figure it out.

She slowly approached Chief Liu and said, "Uncle Liu, Qingshui County isn't bad either. Why are you so sad? Is it because that bastard official wants money to settle down?"

Clan leader Liu quickly covered her mouth and said, "Niece, you have no control over your mouth. You are not allowed to insult officials!"

Then he let go of his hand and whispered, "That village is not clean!"

"Not clean? Just clean it up!" She didn't react at all.

“I heard it’s a ghost village!”

She opened her eyes wide, and an egg could be stuffed in her mouth. It was true that she was not afraid. She didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but if she could travel through time, what else was impossible?

When Tang's mother saw her stop, she patted her and said, "Girl, are you tired?" She took out a water bag and handed it to her.

Tang Youyou subconsciously took the water bag and took a big gulp, choking and coughing.

"Kid, it only takes one day to get to Qingshui County. There's enough water here, so go slow!"

She was a little absent-minded along the way, wondering how to deal with this matter.

Seeing that she was not in a good state, Lin Huahua was a little worried, "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"

"Huahua, what do you think ghosts are most afraid of?"

Lin Huahua frowned, her mind grumbling. Why did her mother suddenly ask this question? Did she have a nightmare last night?

"I heard ghosts are afraid of black dog blood, boy's urine, and fire!"

Tang Youyou's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of her mouth raised. Yes, a big fire can make all the evil spirits have nowhere to hide. She wants to see whether it is a trick or it is true!
