Chapter 154: The Royal Family and the Commoner Youth’s Warning
"Yan has met Mr. Lu."
The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes in front came up to Lu Qing with a smile on his face, but revealed Lu Qing's identity right away.
At this time, the information of the visitor had already appeared in Lu Qing's vision.
I saw several notes emerging in the strong red light.
[Yan Canghai: The lord of Cang County, of royal blood, with a carefree and unrestrained personality, not particular about details, and extremely curious.]
[Cultivation: Acquired internal organs have reached a high level, and possesses many secret techniques, especially swordsmanship.]
[He was originally a member of the royal family. Due to his excessive curiosity, he found out about a taboo and was banished from the capital.]
It turned out that he was the nominal ruler of the county.
After reading the message, Lu Qing understood.
But I didn't expect that the other party's background was quite unusual. He was a descendant of the royal family.
"Is the county magistrate here to look for me because of that ruffian from the market?"
Lu Qing was not surprised that this person knew where he was.
As the head of a county, if he doesn't even have this little intelligence ability, he would be such a waste.
"No, Chen Wencai took advantage of the situation in the market to do whatever he wanted and extort the people. I have already found out about it, so Mr. Lu doesn't have to worry." Yan Canghai said.
"Oh, then I wonder how the county magistrate dealt with that person?" Lu Qing asked curiously.
"Of course, he will be imprisoned for a year, his property will be confiscated, and when his sentence is up, he will be expelled from the city."
Lu Qing nodded. He didn’t know the laws of this world, so he didn’t know whether the punishment was severe or not, so he made no comment.
"But I heard that the reason why Chen Wencai could act so recklessly and extort money at will in the market is because of the protection of his brother-in-law who works in the county magistrate's mansion. I wonder how the county magistrate dealt with him?" Lu Qing continued to ask.
Yan Canghai paused for a moment before saying, "Chen Wencai's brother-in-law Wang Yi has been a policeman for several years. He has worked diligently and hard, and he was unaware of Chen Wencai's fraud and extortion in his name. Considering his hard work and his ignorance, he will be fined three months' salary as a warning to others."
Lu Qing smiled and said nothing.
It also did not say how this was handled.
"Since the county lord has already found out the truth, I think there is nothing to worry about. Please allow me to leave."
Lu Qing bowed slightly and was about to carry Xiaoyan away.
Yan Canghai hurriedly called him: "Young Master Lu, I have prepared some wine and food in Yanfeng Tower. Would you be so kind as to join us?"
Yanfenglou is the most expensive and best restaurant in the county.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. However, I have just finished my meal and have been out for quite a long time today. I am afraid that Master will be worried. I need to go back early to pay my respects. I can only thank you for your kindness."
However, Lu Qing directly refused and walked slowly towards the Wei Mansion holding Xiaoyan.
Only Yan Canghai was left standing there with a look of regret on his face.
"Zhirui, why do you think he rejected my invitation?"
After Lu Qing's figure disappeared, Yan Canghai suddenly said.
"He doesn't like you."
A figure appeared beside Yan Canghai with a calm expression. It was the young man in plain clothes.
"Why is that? I shouldn't have offended him." Yan Canghai was a little surprised.
"When he heard how you dealt with that Wang Yi, he already disliked you." The young man in plain clothes said calmly.
"What's wrong with my punishment?"
"Yan Canghai, ask yourself, do you really believe that what Wang Yi said is true? Does he not know that Chen Wencai is using his name to extort money in the market?"
The young man in plain clothes looked at his friend with some sarcasm: "If you really think so, then you have been going backwards in life over the years."
Yan Canghai was silent.
After a while, he said, "Wang Yi is a talented person. With only the ordinary skills issued by the county lord, he was able to cultivate to the perfection of Qi and Blood in just a few years. If he is given more resources, he may be able to achieve perfection of tendons and bones, or even enter the internal organs in the future."
"You know, I don't have anyone to use right now."
"So you pretend to be confused and want to give him a chance?" The young man in plain clothes shook his head, "Yan Canghai, you really disappoint me."
"I thought you would become more clear-headed after being banished to this remote Cang County, but I never thought you would become even more confused."
"A small achievement in the Qi and Blood Realm can make you go against your principles. With this, you still dream of returning to the capital one day and taking back what originally belonged to you?"
"Yan Canghai, when did you become so petty?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Canghai trembled all over and his face suddenly turned pale.
Seeing this, the young man in plain clothes shook his head, feeling even more disappointed.
He turned and left: "Since this young master Lu doesn't like you, I advise you not to provoke him. Don't be fooled by his gentle appearance, but I can see that he is actually very murderous. If you anger him, be careful that he will kill you directly."
Lu Qing didn't know that such a conversation took place after he left.
As soon as he returned to the Wei Mansion with Xiaoyan and Xiaoli, he saw Wei Xinghe and Madam Wei walking out from the backyard.
"Mr. Lu, Xiaoyan, you're back. Did you have fun?"
When Mrs. Wei saw the two of them, she came forward happily.
"Not bad." Lu Qing smiled, "The city is really different from our countryside. It's so prosperous that it's hard to take it all in."
"Auntie, we went to many places, ate many foods, and bought some books!" Xiaoyan said happily.
Because Lu Qing had reminded Xiaoyan on the way back, she did not tell anyone what happened in the market.
"Mr. Lu went to buy books?"
Wei Xinghe then saw the books in Lu Qing's hand.
"Well, in our countryside, books are hard to come by. Normally, when I teach Xiaoyan and the others to read, I have to rely on the medical books collected by the master. This time, I have a rare opportunity to go to the city, so I will buy some books to broaden my horizons."
"Xiaoyan, have you started to recognize words?" Mrs. Wei was a little surprised.
"Yes, Xiaoyan can recognize a lot of words!" the little girl said proudly, "Not only me, Xiaoli can recognize words too!"
At this moment, Wei Xinghe and Mrs. Wei were really surprised.
The way he looked at Xiao Li became different.
This little black beast can actually read?
Unfortunately, Xiao Li has never been interested in talking to people he is not familiar with.
Facing the gazes of the two people, it didn't even open its eyes and just dozed off on Lu Qing's shoulder.
Wei Xinghe put away his surprise and said to Lu Qing: "Since Mr. Lu loves books so much, my Wei Mansion also has a collection of books. If you are interested, you may want to go to the study and see if there is anything you like."
Lu Qing's heart moved. The books collected by the Wei Mansion must be extraordinary. Maybe they contain the information he wants.
He nodded happily: "Then Lu Qing would like to thank Patriarch Wei first."
After chatting for a while, Lu Qing learned that Steward Wei was still at the Ma family and had not returned, while his master was invited by Wei Shanhai to discuss his insights into innate martial arts.
Mrs. Wei also invited Xiaoyan and Xiaoli to play in the backyard.
He had nothing to do, so he simply found an excuse and went back to his room to rest.
After returning to the room and closing the door, Lu Qing took out today's harvest.
