Chapter 407: Backstage Operation
Seeing that the shopkeeper couldn't get any useful information here, Lu Can couldn't suppress his curiosity and took the initiative to go find Lu Li.
"Sister Nine, I just heard something strange."
Without waiting for Lu Li to ask, he told her everything he had learned before.
After he finished speaking, he could not help but ask, "Sister Nine, are you really saying that it is the ghost of Miss Asha who is causing trouble?"
"No. Miss Asha is not dead, how could it be a ghost?" Lu Li shook his head.
"What?" Lu Can was completely shocked when he heard this.
"What made those people crazy?"
"You'll know once we catch Miss Asha." Lu Li felt a little sorry for the girl.
She was so beautiful, but she was ruined by others.
She sought revenge through her own means, but ended up hurting many people.
"Sister Nine, do you know where she is?" After Lu Can said this, he realized that he had said something stupid.
Ninth sister is omnipotent, of course she knows that.
He patted his head in frustration: "Sister Nine, how are you going to catch her?"
"Of course, I'm inviting you into the treasury." Lu Li tapped the table lightly.
"Go find Qu Songnian and let him handle this matter."
"Okay." Lu Can nodded without hesitation and immediately went to the next room to call Qu Songnian over.
Unexpectedly, he met Feng Qi on the road. When he heard that Lu Li had something to tell Qu Songnian, he followed.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Feng Qi asked.
He planned to make his presence felt more in front of A-li.
Lest she forget him.
"Yes." Lu Li nodded.
"You go to the Divine Doctor Valley, and ask Sun Que to come as well."
Among the people present, besides her, Feng Qi is the only one who can enter and exit the Valley of Divine Doctors at will, so it is just right to hand this matter over to him.
"Okay." Feng Qi agreed immediately without asking why.
"Brother, do you want the people from the Divine Doctor Valley to help cure these people's madness?" Lu Can responded immediately.
Since Fengqi was there, he didn't call her sister.
"Yes." Lu Li smiled and nodded.
"But wouldn't this be a waste of opportunity?" Lu Can felt a little distressed.
"That's the master of the Divine Doctor Valley. Many people have asked him to cure their illnesses but have not always been able to get it. Are you going to waste your kindness to him like this?"
If something happens to someone in my family in the future, and I need to ask Master Sun Gu to treat him, the opportunity has been used up now, which is such a pity.
"Can'er, the lives of the people are also lives. We have the opportunity to cure them, so should we not cure them just because the opportunity is rare?" Lu Li looked at his brother with a serious face.
"Besides, my fifth brother-in-law is a genius from the Divine Doctor Valley, and my third brother is a disciple from the Divine Doctor Valley. Their medical skills may not be inferior to Sun Que's. If they were not so far away, I would have let them come directly."
Lu Can reacted immediately.
That’s right, they don’t lack miracle doctors in their family, so they don’t need to take any good things they see and keep them for their family members.
"My brother is right. I was wrong and only thought about leaving the benefits for my family." Lu Can lowered his head in shame and admitted his mistake.
"Can'er cares about his family, there's nothing wrong with that." Lu Li smiled and rubbed his head, comforted him with a few words, and let him take Lu Xuan out to play.
Do your job well.
She is the crown princess, so naturally she should put the interests of the country and the lives of the people first.
And Can'er was thinking about their little home, which was also true.
Feng Qi and Lu Can both left. Lu Li asked Qu Songnian to find the local prefect and negotiate with him to ensure that this year's Holy Fire Festival is held normally.
She wants to attend the Holy Fire Festival in person.
She wanted to get the most torches.
She wanted to take a gamble and see if Miss Asha still had any kindness in her heart.
"You want to participate in person? And you want to do it behind the scenes?" Qu Songnian widened his eyes.
"What kind of behind-the-scenes manipulation? Do you think that with my beauty and wisdom, I can't get the most torches?" Lu Li glared at him.
This Qu Songnian really didn't inherit his father's smooth talk.
Can you speak?
Even if there really was a need for behind-the-scenes manipulation, wouldn't he have arranged it secretly? Why did he have to say it out loud?
"Of course I can get it." Qu Songnian immediately straightened his chest.
"I will do it right away. I will definitely handle this matter properly and will not let you down."
"Qin Xiao is not here, so you should take Long Aotian with you. Otherwise you will be detained by greedy villains and I will have to redeem you if you can't come back." Lu Li reminded.
Although he did not inherit Qu Fufeng's clever mouth, Qu Songnian's fragile and graceful body is exactly like his father.
Neither the father nor the son was good at martial arts.
When Qu Songnian was young, the Qu family hired a famous teacher to teach him martial arts, but he had no talent at all.
The Qu family had no choice but to give up on letting him learn martial arts and concentrate on his studies.
Qu Songnian: …
How come he heard a hint of sarcasm in the Crown Princess's last words?
So heartbreaking.
"Yes, I will bring Long Aotian with me."
With a broken heart and 20,000 taels of silver, Qu Songnian, along with Long Aotian, went to see the prefect of Ruxi City.
Liu Zhide, the prefect of Ruxi City, was worried.
In previous years, wealthy businessmen donated generously to promote the holding of the Olympic Fire Festival, attracting countless people to Ruxi City to generate income for them.
But this year, because of the evil deeds done by the ghost of Miss Asha, no one had any interest in the festival. Seeing that the Holy Fire Festival could not be held, their Ruxi City would lose a lot of money this year. He was so worried that he had lost a lot of hair in the past few days.
Now when we heard that someone was willing to donate to promote the Holy Fire Festival, we immediately invited them in.
Liu Zhide looked at the two of them with a smile: "What are your names?"
"Excuse me, my surname is Qu." Qu Songnian took out the silver bills from his arms, and Liu Zhide was so amazed by them.
"These twenty thousand taels were donated by my young lady."
Qu Songnian stated his purpose.
After listening to this, Liu Zhide nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
This sum of money was just a formality, used as a gimmick. In the end, the young lady and the young master of Mr. Qu's family still had to get the most torches and then take all the silver back.
Their government office can take 1,000 taels as funding for the event.
With 22,000 taels of silver as a gimmick, it will surely attract more people to participate in this Olympic Fire Festival.
Liu Zhide gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.
The money will be returned, at least the Olympic Flame Festival can be held normally, attracting tourists to generate revenue.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qu, everything will be as you wish."
After the two parties reached an agreement, Liu Zhide issued a notice saying that this year an unknown wealthy businessman donated 22,000 taels to sponsor the holding of the Olympic Flame Festival, and everyone was welcome to participate.
This year's prize money has doubled compared to last year.
The money is tempting, and even those who originally did not dare to participate are now ready to take action.
All of a sudden, many young men and women came to sign up.
The next day after Qu Songnian had settled his affairs, Feng Qi also rushed to Ruxi City with Sun Que.
"Thank you, Valley Master Laosun." Lu Li recounted the entire story.
When Sun heard about this, he also became curious.
What kind of medicine did Miss Asha use to make these people crazy?
