In fact, the reason why Qi Borong acted on his own and endorsed the hotel in the name of the government was because he received an order from the Xuan Jingsi.
As for why the people from Xuan Jing Si made such a decision, he was not quite sure about the reason.
He could actually explain County Magistrate Yin's dissatisfaction. He was promoting the hotel in the name of the government. If there was really something fishy about the Xianyuan Hotel, neither he nor County Magistrate Yin could bear the responsibility.
County Magistrate Yin has always been a person who doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs. As long as it doesn't affect him, he always turns a blind eye and lets his subordinates do whatever they want.
But now, he, known as the "clay county magistrate", has been forced to stand up and protest.
Magistrate Yin was so angry that he blew his beard and slammed the table. "Ridiculous! Do you really think I can't see your intentions? Even if there's nothing wrong with that hotel, you shouldn't publicize it in the name of the government. If something really does go wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"
Qi Borong lowered his head. "No. But, Your Excellency, with the shop owner's magical powers, there's really no need for her to use the hotel to cause trouble. You may not know this, but the shop owner has the power to revive the dead. The hot springs in her shop can cure all diseases and repair damaged tendons and bodies..."
"Repair the damaged tendons and body?!" County Magistrate Yin stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, opened his eyes wide, and his gray beard trembled slightly.
"Yes, if Your Excellency is interested, you may wish to go and try it yourself. As far as I know, hot springs can completely heal all ailments in the body, naturally including baldness..."
Yin County Magistrate's face suddenly changed, his eyes widened even more, staring at him like bells: "Who are you saying is bald? Who are you saying is bald?"
After saying this, he subconsciously adjusted his official hat and checked to see if anything was exposed.
"Your Excellency, I'm certainly not referring to you. Please understand that the hot springs only offer a single chance to heal you. If it's just for some minor ailment, there's no need to waste this opportunity."
Magistrate Yin sat back down, his hand clenched into a fist beneath his sleeve. "Have you personally investigated the hotel?"
"Yes, I stayed in that hotel for a night the day before yesterday, and everything there was really new to me." He talked about what he saw and heard in the hotel.
Magistrate Yin was silent for a moment, then waved his hand nonchalantly, "Got it, you may leave."
"Yes, Your Excellency, I will take my leave." Qi Borong bowed and turned to leave.
County Magistrate Yin sat there for a moment, then stood up and went to the back of the county government office, where his family lived.
Although they are said to be a family, in fact, only his wife is by his side. His children have all gone on to pursue their own careers and he doesn't have to worry about them anymore.
He went to his room, took off his official robe, changed into ordinary clothes, put on a veil, prepared silver and banknotes, walked into the back garden, and prepared to leave the county government office through the back door.
In the back garden, his old wife was sitting in the pavilion, leisurely eating potato chips and drinking Sprite.
That’s right, in fact, that store had invaded his home a long time ago, and he himself had tasted the delicious food there, such as instant noodles and self-heating hot pot.
But he was just in case, as he couldn't bear the responsibility of endorsing the hotel.
"Stop! Where are you going?"
Even though he was wearing a veil, his wife still recognized him at a glance.
Magistrate Yin paused, hesitated, and replied, "That hotel has hot springs, which can completely repair the body, including the tendons and veins."
"Repair the tendons?" His wife's hand trembled, crushing the potato chips in her hand. "Are you sure? But..." She looked only about thirty years old, with a round face, big eyes, and fair skin. She looked much younger than County Magistrate Yin. "So many years have passed. Is it necessary?"
Magistrate Yin clenched his fists: "Yes, it is necessary."
Madam Yin rested her hand on her chin and said leisurely, "It's been over thirty years. You're no longer young. Even if you recover your martial arts skills now, what good will it do? Can you still recapture the spirit of your youth?"
County Magistrate Yin's face darkened, and he raised his hand to adjust his hat. "So what? It's none of your business."
Madam Yin raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes, saying sarcastically, "Look at you. Year after year, you've lost the ambition you once had. You just muddle through life, retreating when faced with difficulties and refusing to take any responsibility. With you like this, even if you recover your martial arts, can you still stand up again? Alas, the arrogant and proud chief disciple of Lingyu Palace back then will never come back."
Magistrate Yin was filled with rage at her mockery: "If you look down on me, why are you still staying with me?"
Madam Yin glared at her: "What do you care? I just like staying here."
Yin County Magistrate: “…”
He was so angry that he threw his sleeves, snorted coldly, and walked quickly towards the back door of the garden.
A quarter of an hour later, he walked out of the south gate of the county town and arrived in front of the Xianyuan Hotel.
It was a three-story house that seemed to be built of a huge white stone, and all the doors and windows were made of transparent glass.
Magistrate Yin stopped and saw people going to the cabinets in the gatehouse to make purchases from time to time.
He paused, took a deep breath, walked into the gatehouse of Xianyuan Hotel, and walked into the hotel door.
This was his first time entering this hotel, and everything was just as Captain Qi had said. The scene inside the hotel was like a golden palace in heaven.
He glanced around and found that there was no one in the lobby, so he could only walk into the room next door where there was someone.
The room was bustling with activity, all seats were occupied, and some people had to stand at the table to eat, but they did not show any dissatisfaction at all.
"Someone with severed tendons and veins? Shopkeeper, don't worry, Yigu will help you keep an eye out for this kind of news. By the way, I came downstairs to order food. Two more... no, four servings of grilled cold noodles."
County Magistrate Yin looked in the direction of the voice and recognized at a glance that the person speaking was none other than Guo Yu Shi, the elder of the Medical Valley.
The girl standing next to Guo Yushi must be the owner of the store.
She was wearing strange clothes, her skin was white with a rosy glow, and she exuded an aura of incompatibility, as if she was in a world of her own.
On the other side, a pair of twin brothers interrupted:
"Shopkeeper, you're looking for someone with severed tendons and veins? Why don't you ask us? We just happen to know someone like that!"
"Shopkeeper, if we help you invite this person here, what benefits can we get?"
"Shopkeeper, the food here is so expensive, can you give me a discount?"
"Yes, we can hardly afford to eat. If we help you find someone, can we have a free meal?"
Feng Yuanning remained silent.
If you just pretend to ask casually, you can still get away with it, but if you pay any price for it, it will inevitably arouse the customer's suspicion.
At this moment, Ke Bingling, an inspector from the Xuanjing Division, stepped forward and rescued her. "The shop owner was just asking out of kindness, and you're actually trying to threaten him. So, if you can find someone with severed tendons and veins, would you like a free meal? Okay, I'll buy you the meal."
Magistrate Yin inspected the room and found that the number of Xuan Jing Division members exceeded the limit. He couldn't help but adjust his hat nervously, determined not to be recognized.
He cleared his throat and was about to speak when he heard his wife's voice suddenly come from behind him: "Looking for someone with severed tendons and veins? Coincidentally, isn't there one right here?"
