Otherwise, why did he write the word "good" but not tell his wife that her life would be in danger? Or did he mean that his wife would be out of danger and give birth safely, so it was good.
County Magistrate Hu was already in a state of confusion.
He knew that he was taking his anger out on Taoist Li, but now he didn't have time to think about it so much and just wanted to share the burden with someone else.
He couldn't figure it out, so he raised his hand and beckoned, "Go and ask Taoist Li to come over."
Just as the servant was about to leave, he changed his mind and said, "Come back."
County Magistrate Hu's confused mind still retained a trace of clarity after all. As the matter had not yet been decided, he decided not to cause trouble for Taoist Li, so as not to offend Taoist Li because of this matter.
Wait until the dust settles and his wife is out of danger, then ask Taoist Li to come down the mountain.
Now, the most important thing is to ask the doctor to come.
The doctor was soon called.
The gray-haired doctor ran towards the yard led by the servant. When he arrived in front of the county magistrate, he was already out of breath.
Fortunately, the servant had good eyesight and took the doctor's medicine box, so the doctor was not tired.
When Magistrate Hu saw the doctor coming, he was delighted and said quickly, "Doctor Liu, my wife's life is in your hands. If mother and child cannot be safe, please protect me."
There will be children eventually.
He is still young.
After receiving the instructions, Doctor Liu nodded in agreement, calmed his breathing, and then took the medicine box into the delivery room.
Until the night falls.
A cry broke the solemn atmosphere in the house. Magistrate Hu's frown relaxed a little, and his anxious heart was relieved.
He stood at the door and watched eagerly.
Until the midwife opened the door, he hurriedly asked, "How is the lady?"
"Mother and child are safe, congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir," the midwife congratulated.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" After knowing that his wife was safe, County Magistrate Hu asked about the gender of the child.
Although Taoist Master Li was very famous and the midwife case also made him aware of the abilities of the immortal Li, he had not experienced it personally and always felt that it was somewhat unreal and fake.
How could there be such mysterious things in the world?
As for the letter that was sent to him, County Magistrate Hu now has no idea what Taoist Li meant.
"They are twins, a boy and a girl."
The midwife's words sounded like spring thunder in Magistrate Hu's ears.
Twins, boy and girl.
Just one son and one daughter.
The word "good" written by Taoist Li actually means twins, a boy and a girl. It turns out that his previous guess was not wrong.
County Magistrate Hu was stunned.
These are twins, a boy and a girl, a rare blessing.
Not only Magistrate Hu was happy, but the midwife was also happy. As a midwife, it was a blessing for her to deliver twins, a boy and a girl. So, she smiled even more happily, with her teeth showing but not her eyes.
Seeing that County Magistrate Hu had not yet come to his senses, the midwife smiled and asked, "Sir, would you like to go in and take a look at the baby?"
Magistrate Hu finally came to his senses and said, "No, no."
He thought about the disrespect he had shown to Taoist Master Li and was afraid that Taoist Master Li could figure it out.
For a person like this who knows everything, nothing can be covered up in front of him.
Just a calculation would reveal what he was thinking. At this point, County Magistrate Hu became frightened and quickly prepared a generous gift and sent someone to send it to Miaodao Temple.
As for him, as an official appointed by the court, he still has to be cautious.
Although the gifts were prepared, County Magistrate Hu was still extremely conflicted. He was in no mood to even visit his children. After visiting his wife, he went to the front yard to wait for news.
To go or not to go.
If I go, I can dispel Taoist Li's anger. If I don't go, what if Taoist Li blames me...
Magistrate Hu thought carefully about everything that had happened in his life, including the time when he fell into the lake as a child and robbed a bird's nest from a tree. He also thought about whether he had offended anyone when he was a student and whether he had accepted bribes after becoming an official.
Finally, let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, fortunately, he has nothing shameful to do.
County Magistrate Hu touched the black hat on his head and felt relieved. From now on, he had to be more respectful to Taoist Li, in case he needed to ask for help in the future.
After all, it is not easy to be a local official.
Magistrate Hu still wanted to move up a level, but he came from a poor family and had no one to rely on. The only reason he could become a lowly official was because he studied hard for ten years, passed the imperial examination, and was blessed by the emperor, which gave him the opportunity to come to Yangzhou and become a county magistrate.
It's late at night.
Candles were already lit in the courtyard. The housekeeper stood beside Magistrate Hu and asked, "Master, it's getting dark. Do you want to go to bed?"
Magistrate Hu had already changed into a long gown. He turned around to look at the housekeeper and asked, "Is this what the Madam wanted?"
"This..." The housekeeper couldn't answer. The lady had gone to bed early, and the door to the backyard was closed, so the master could only sleep in the front yard.
Magistrate Hu snorted and said, "If you want to sleep, go and rest first."
He still has to wait for news from Taoist Priest Li.
How can I have the time to sleep?
Finally, after much anticipation, the servant who had gone to deliver the gift came back. Magistrate Hu saw that the servant had no gifts in his hands, so he smiled and asked, "Did Immortal Li accept it?"
"I'll take it, sir." After saying that, the servant hesitated for a moment and continued, "But there is one more thing. Taoist Li wants you to issue a document so that he can report to the Chongxuan Office in Yangzhou. I hope you can make it convenient for me."
"Chongxuan Office?" County Magistrate Hu thought he had heard wrongly. Chongxuan Office was the place where Taoist temples reported their affairs. Logically speaking, someone with the ability of Taoist Priest Li should be recorded in the roster of Chongxuan Office.
Why do we have to report to the Chongxuan Office?
Could it be——
The Taoist temple on Miaodao Mountain is a wild temple!
When County Magistrate Hu learned of this speculation, he looked unhappy. He really had not expected that the Miaodao Temple on Miaodao Mountain was actually a wild temple. Nowadays, wild Taoists in wild temples were not good things.
Having been an official for many years, even if one does not talk about his own experiences, he knows how many evil things the wild Taoist priests have done just from what he has heard.
They will use any possible means to cheat and deceive.
But Master Li’s situation…
Magistrate Hu hesitated. If he had not experienced it himself, but only heard rumors from outside, and considering that it was a wild Taoist temple, he would naturally suspect that Taoist Master Li was a wild Taoist priest and a swindler, and he would have to put him in jail and give him a good lesson.
But he had already seen Taoist Li's ability, so it was not impossible for him to issue the document. However, if this matter got out, or if Taoist Li caused any trouble in the future, he, the county magistrate who issued the document, would also be held responsible.
Therefore, County Magistrate Hu was very hesitant about whether to do it.
Until the next morning, County Magistrate Hu still hadn't made up his mind. With black eyes, he stood up yawning, put on his shoes and socks, and headed to the yamen in front of him.
The master has arrived.
Magistrate Hu was like seeing a savior. He pulled the lawyer aside and had a serious discussion with him about whether or not to issue a document to Taoist Li.
The lawyer didn't say anything else, just three sentences.
"Sir, do you dare to offend Taoist Li?"
“…”
"Sir, is Taoist Li a liar?"
“…”
"Sir, it's just a document. You gave it to me, but there's still the Chongxuan Office. Whether it's true or not, the Chongxuan Office will make the final decision. Why bother to offend Taoist Li here in Da'an?"
“…”
County Magistrate Hu was speechless. He raised his brows and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He naturally didn't dare to offend Taoist Li, and Taoist Li was certainly not a liar. In Da'an, if he didn't issue a document to Taoist Li, and if the people of Da'an County knew about it, he wouldn't even be able to leave the yamen.
He didn't want to be thrown rotten vegetable leaves by the people as soon as he went out.
This will also be counted as one of his assessment items.
If this were to happen, he would no longer be able to continue his career as an official.
Therefore, when Li Lezhi brought Gao Mingli to the yamen, County Magistrate Hu gave the document to Li Lezhi with a smile on his face and without any hesitation.
Li Le only looked at the stamped seal and a blank piece of paper with only the official seal on it.
Li Le just looked at Magistrate Hu in confusion.
Magistrate Hu smiled and said, "Rules are dead, but people are alive. After Taoist Li is registered, he can hand in a blank piece of paper to the Chongxuan Office, and they will know what to do."
Li Le just understood.
Every policy has its own countermeasure. This would save half a month, so he accepted the kindness.
He is not a rigid and conservative person. Since County Magistrate Hu dares to do this, there must be no problem.
Li Le simply thanked him and left with the documents.
After he left, another person came to see County Magistrate Hu.
When County Magistrate Hu learned that the other party came because of Li Lezhi, he looked in the direction where Li Lezhi left, and was glad that he did not offend Taoist Li.
After Li Le got the document, he thought the county magistrate was easy to talk to, so he took the travel permit with him.
Li Le and Gao Mingli took the water route to Yangzhou.
On the other side, Gongsun Miaoran and Master Lin also set out to return to Qingzhou. The news of the flood had already been delivered by carrier pigeon.
After receiving the news, Qingzhou Governor Gongsun Zhuoran bent over his desk to look at the map of Qingzhou. It had been raining a lot in Qingzhou recently, and it had been raining for three days in a row. Gongsun Zhuoran had not taken this matter to heart, but after receiving the news from Gongsun Miaoran, he opened the map and fixed his eyes on the direction of the Hong River.
If this rain continues for a month or so, the water level of the Hong River will rise sharply and will definitely endanger Qingzhou.
Because the water of the Hong River spanned the territory of Qingzhou, Gongsun Zhuoran had to take precautions. With only one month left, it was too late to open a canal to divert the flood.
The only way to avoid the flood is to disperse and move the people around the flood water to higher places.
There are too many things involved here, and even Gongsun Zhuoran, who holds the position of governor, dares not act rashly.
Gongsun Zhuoran rubbed his eyebrows twice, then called his staff to ask about the matter.
Upon hearing this, the staff and others were all panicked and at a loss. They immediately realized that this matter was difficult.
"It would be better if we don't know about this and wait until something happens..." The staff gritted their teeth and stared at the governor's majesty, and their voices became lower and lower.
Gongsun Zhuoran glanced at him twice, then lowered his head and continued to look at the line on the map that represented the water of the Hong River. He said in a calm voice without a trace of emotion, "Get out."
The aide's face turned pale, he stood there at a loss, still wanting to defend himself, but he just looked at the profile of the governor and dared not say anything.
The matter was already settled, and the staff left in despair.
Before leaving, he was still thinking that it was obvious that the best solution was that they didn't know. In the face of natural disasters, how could His Majesty blame them if they knew? There was only one month left, and no matter what he did, it would be in vain and a waste of effort.
The remaining staff members dared not breathe, fearing that they would suffer the same fate as the previous person.
The younger man, named Sun Zhimao, asked, "Sir, is the news reliable?"
What Sun Zhimao wanted to know more was how the adults knew that a flood would occur in a month.
But he didn't dare to ask further.
