Today's show ends a little earlier than usual.
Because Li Xu wanted to prepare the meal before Li Ping and Sun Xiu arrived home, and then wait for the three of them to come back and tell them the first time that Wu Qingfeng had agreed to do him a favor, so that they could be happy.
Everything went smoothly at first, and Sun Xiu and his wife were very happy, but things changed when it was Li Ping's turn.
After listening to this, he did not show any joy. Instead, he asked, "Xiao Xu, are you sure that the news we spread was made up by you?"
Li Xu didn't quite understand what he meant, but still replied, "Of course I'm sure. What's the problem?"
"The rumor you made up has come true." Li Ping then explained, "The neighborhood office received a notice today telling us to keep a close watch on Feng Shui masters. If they engage in superstitious activities, they will be arrested and handed over to the county for disposal."
"Ah?" Li Xu exclaimed, "Is this true? Why would the county do this?"
"Really, as for the reason, I don't know."
Hearing this, Li Xu immediately fell into deep thought. However, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a clue. He had to put the matter aside and asked, "Brother, what if they don't proceed?"
Li Ping showed a helpless expression, "They arrested him even though the process was not carried out."
Li Xu: ...
After a moment's silence, he cursed directly, "There are not many Feng Shui masters in Tang County, at least twenty. If we arrest them all, it will affect twenty families, almost two hundred people. Your director dares to do this, isn't he afraid of giving birth to a child without an anus?"
Seeing him so excited, Li Ping quickly explained, "Our director said we should arrest two first to test the waters and see how they react before deciding whether to arrest more.
As you know, Feng Shui masters only need to leave their homes when they're doing feng shui readings. Fortune telling and naming can be done without leaving their homes. This makes it difficult to tell if they're engaging in feudal superstition. There's no other way, the director has no choice but to do this."
"Then he also gave birth to a child without an anus." He cursed again, and then Li Xu said, "Forget it, let's go inside and eat first. After dinner, I'll go out and ask around."
Li Ping nodded and walked straight to the main room.
This news completely destroyed Li Xu's good mood, and he even had no appetite for food.
There was nothing else to do. If this matter got out of hand, he might really have to use his connections to protect Wu Qingfeng, otherwise his own reputation would be gone.
If Wu Qingfeng doesn't live to the age he expects, it can only be said that the previous wave of operations was a huge loss.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse the county leader who made this suggestion in his heart.
Seeing him like this, Sun Xiu and his wife were a little confused. He was quite happy just now, why did he suddenly become like this?
Although they wanted to ask, there were many people at the table, and Hu Cuifen, a stranger, was also present, so it was really inconvenient. So they could only suppress their doubts in their hearts and wait until after dinner to talk about it.
But what they didn't expect was that as soon as he put down his bowl, Li Xu hurried out.
There was no other way, they could only ask Li Ping.
After learning what had happened, neither of them knew what to say.
If they hadn't experienced it themselves, they would have thought it was nonsense...
Li Xu did not go to find Liu Gang, but went to Du's house first.
Because he didn't know whether the Liu family had finished their meal, he came to see Du Hong first.
He sat at the Du family's house for half an hour before saying goodbye and leaving.
After arriving at the Liu family, he greeted everyone in the Liu family and chatted for a while, then he called Liu Gang out.
Liu Gang led him into a house. As soon as he closed the door, he couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle Liu, the county issued a notice to the street office today regarding Feng Shui masters. Did you know?"
"I know. Before you came, the old man was still talking to us about this. Why did you come here?"
"Yeah." After answering, Li Xu asked again, "Do you know why the county did this?"
"We did catch up. The commissioner was so badly injured that he needed at least three months to recover. Naturally, he couldn't go out and look for offenders during this time. This would have been a good thing, but the problem was that commissioners from other pilot areas were all reporting violations. If we didn't report, it would be too conspicuous. So the county leaders decided to take over this matter first and arrest a few people for the commissioner so that he could report to them.
I was just worried about where to start, and I don't know who was so bored that they started spreading rumors in the county, saying that the county was going to crack down on Feng Shui masters. Eventually, the news reached the ears of the leaders, and then they knew where to start."
After hearing the reason, Li Xu fell silent for a moment.
The clown was actually me.
After all this time, I realized that this was caused by me...
Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Gang asked doubtfully, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
Li Xu came here specifically for this matter. If he said it was okay, no one would believe him. So he nodded and said, "Yes, let me put it this way. Except for my grandfather, everyone else in my family with the surname Li had their names chosen by Mr. Li."
"Are you worried that the Feng Shui masters will be arrested and it will be difficult to name your children in the future?"
"That's not the case." Li Xu shook his head. "These names in my family were given by the same person. He and my grandfather have been friends for decades and have a good relationship with us. Besides, he's over sixty years old. If he's arrested, he won't live long. I came here to ask if this matter will involve him. If so, I can prepare early."
