Chapter 35: Junior Brother, our Taoist temple is rich!

After a struggle, when Yi Chen walked out of the box, he had an extra two thousand three hundred taels of silver in his pocket. In the end, Taoist Qingxu added another three hundred taels, and the matter was settled.

Yi Chen smiled and lifted the curtain, letting Taoist Qingxu go first. With a bulging wallet, he headed towards the county government office.

Captain Zhang, or to be more precise, Chief Captain Zhang, has been standing at the gate of the yamen, waiting eagerly for a long time.

Under the guidance of his cheap apprentice, Yi Chen entered a remote study in the backyard of the county government office.

Yi Chen told County Master Zhou about the four of them's speculations and decisions in detail.

For a moment, cold sweat broke out on the county magistrate's forehead.

"Master, are you saying that although the evil spirits who wiped out the entire Wang family have been killed, there is still a mysterious master behind them, and Fengyun County may not be peaceful in the future?"

Yi Chen nodded slightly.

"This matter is too big to be solved by individual households in Fengyun County. The county lord should make plans early."

"Misfortune is not the root of fortune, and fortune is not the root of misfortune. The county lord does not need to be too afraid of the arrival of the Zhen'an Division. Under the governance of the county lord, Fengyun County has been transformed from a lower county to a middle county today, which is enough to prove the ability of the county lord."

"Perhaps because of this incident, the county magistrate has turned a disaster into a blessing and caught the attention of his superiors." Yi Chen said gently to comfort him.

After dealing with this County Master Zhou, I don't have any bad feelings towards him. Although this fat County Master Zhou, who always has a fake smile on his face, is greedy, he also gets things done.

When it came to the armored corpse in Qingyuan Town and the evil spirit that wiped out the entire Wang family, County Master Zhou was the first to find someone to settle the matter. This is much more pleasing than those upright people who usually sit quietly and talk about their character, and are willing to die for their king in times of crisis.

The people are simple-minded. As long as you can lead them to live a better and better life, no one will complain if you eat more and take more.

But let’s keep things one thing at a time.

Yi Chen had solved the evil incident that wiped out the entire Wang family, and he would not return the silver note given by the county magistrate.

It would be more painful to ask Master Yi to take out the money that had gone into his pocket than to kill him.

After promising to speak well of him to the people from Zhen'an Division in the future, Yi Chen bid farewell to the county magistrate and left the county government office.

Now he had a huge sum of money, three thousand five hundred taels of silver notes, and he planned to buy some good wine and food to reward his fellow disciples at Yinlong Temple.

When you have money, you should treat yourself better.

The first thing was candied haws. Yi Chen bought two sticks, which made the old man Li who was selling candied haws so happy that wrinkles appeared on his face.

Today I met a big client. I finished work as soon as I opened the door in the morning. Is there anything better than this? The answer is yes.

Wang, the butcher who has been selling pork at the market for decades, received a big order today to deliver half a fat pig to Yinlong Temple every two days.

Those who sold chickens, vegetables, dried fruits and candied fruits, and wine were all excited because they also received big orders.

Except for the fishmongers...

Because there were too many things, Yi Chen simply rented a carriage to put the purchases and prepared to leave the city and return to the Taoist temple.

This time it was a great harvest. Not only did he achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation, but he also earned enough money to cover his travel expenses.

Although the family is poor, the road is rich, and Master Yi is reluctant to suffer.

“Gee! Gee!”

The coachman flicked the whip and drove the carriage towards the outside of the city. Yi Chen followed closely behind. When he passed the palace halfway, he couldn't help but stop.

At this time, many yamen runners were coming in and out of the palace, some carrying corpses, some moving belongings. The leader in the courtyard was none other than Yi Chen's registered disciple, Captain Zhang.

He had just taken office as the chief constable of Fengyun County and was sent by the county magistrate to dispose of the corpse in the Wang family mansion, and to pack and seal the land, land deeds and other property in the mansion.

A fat corpse with a dark face was carried and placed into a thin red coffin. Yi Chen took a closer look and laughed.

Isn't this the boss who bought his Overlord Chicken?

When Yi Chen went to investigate the scene, he didn't enter the inner courtyard, so he didn't know that this was the one who died.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, you bought my Tyrant Chicken, and I helped you avenge the extermination of your family. We are even now. I will personally give you a mantra of rebirth for you and your entire family. Have a safe journey to the underworld."

After thinking for a while, Yi Chen stood outside the door and began to mutter to himself.

The Supreme Lord has commanded that your lonely soul be liberated, and all ghosts and spirits, and all living beings be blessed.

Those with heads will rise, those without heads will go up, they will be killed with spears and knives, and they will jump into the water and be suspended by ropes.

Death in public or in secret, death unjustly, creditor and enemy, and a man who seeks revenge.

Kneel before my stage, the eight trigrams will shine, you will step out of the ditch and be reborn in another place.

…..All the gifts of fate are secretly marked with a price. Things are universally connected. Yi Chen gave this Rebirth Mantra for free because he knew that his appearance fee this time would still have to come from the sheep.

God knows what kind of priceless treasure the thin coffin in which Mr. Wang lies is in the eyes of Captain Zhang. These are all funded by the government office and will be deducted from the Wang family's assets later. Yi Chen is innocent.

This is considered to be a matter of eating manners, and there is a lot more to it.

After reciting the mantra for rebirth, Yi Chen shook his head. Instead of entering the courtyard to chat with Captain Zhang, he turned around and left in a cool manner.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The death of Mr. Wang also touched him deeply.

So what if he was extremely wealthy? In this world full of evil, power was the only thing that mattered, and he must not put the cart before the horse.

…

…

At noon, Yinlong Temple.

Qingfeng and Mingyue were chanting scriptures in the main hall under the leadership of Qingyunzi.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Qingfeng, who was always naughty, frowned and quickly got up and ran towards the door, leaving behind the words "I'll go open the door" echoing in his place.

The door opened and a strange face appeared.

"Are you the young Taoist priest from the Hidden Dragon Temple? I'm the groom hired by Taoist priest Yi Chengzi to deliver the goods. Where do you think we should put these things?"

Qingfeng looked at the groom warily, then at the cart outside the door. He was wondering why the eldest brother would buy so many things during the festival. Was he going to have a hard time? He was about to ask something.

At this time, a familiar figure appeared. Yi Chen slowly appeared at the gate and grabbed Qingfeng and put him on his shoulders and sat down.

Qingfeng shouted happily: "It's the eldest brother, the eldest brother is back!"

Upon hearing this, Mingyue quickly ran over and was picked up by Yi Chen and sat on his right shoulder.

Yi Chen directed the groom to move the goods to the kitchen, while he held the two little ones' legs with his big hands, for fear that they would fall down due to the noise.

"Senior Brother, why did you buy so many things?" Seeing this, Qing Yunzi also walked out and came in front of Yi Chen.

Last night he received three hundred-year-old ginseng roots and two eighty-year-old astragalus roots from someone who claimed to be sent by the county lord. Today, the eldest brother bought so many supplies again.

What happened in the past day? Yi Chen put the two little ones down from his shoulders, patted their heads, and said with a smile: "Junior brother, we don't have to eat fish anymore. Our Taoist temple has money."

"We'll discuss the details in the evening. Today, we'll start cooking and add more food!"

"Great!" The two little ones cheered immediately after hearing that. The happy notes filled the whole yard. Even the groom who was unloading the goods couldn't help but be infected and smiled happily because Yi Chen rewarded him with a few coins.
