After the other villagers left, the county magistrate led his men to retrieve the two bodies. That afternoon, Zhao Ke and Tao Biao were questioned. Under the supervision of a group of villagers, Zhao Ke was imprisoned for five years, while Tao Biao, for his previous involvement with bandits in injuring people and for instigating the incident, was sentenced to immediate execution for multiple crimes and to be beheaded ten days later.
These people's plans were cut short before they could be implemented, and the two thousand taels of silver that the Qian family gave to Zhao Ke were withheld. Qi Yu's reputation was also rising in the county. Basically, everyone in Xinghua Village and Yunli County knew that Qi Yu was a eunuch. However, with just two short events, wiping out the mountain stronghold and repelling the gambling den, Qi Yu was able to make up for Li Xiaoxiao's shortcomings and solve the key to the problem.
Most importantly, both county magistrates listened to Qi Yu without exception, which aroused the curiosity of the people.
After all, he's a son-in-law who lives with his wife and is entirely supported by her; he can cause trouble without saying a word.
Some people have begun to suspect that Qi Yu is a cunning and repressed man. The storyteller has also been paying attention to Qi Yu recently. The Li family has been making waves lately, and even Li Xiaoxiao's Suixin Pavilion has begun to gain fame.
The crabs they had bought earlier were packed and sent to a neighboring province, and the Li family's special wine also caught the attention of the alcoholics.
People occasionally come to Suixin Pavilion to inquire about the wines they used to sell, but they are always in the process of being stocked up. It is said that anyone who has drunk this wine can enjoy the pleasure of becoming a god, and even those who have drunk this wine can kick their alcohol addiction and can no longer drink other crudely made wines.
Widow Dong brought a jar of "Immortal Phoenix Soup" to the mountain stronghold, which immediately intoxicated more than twenty of the bandits' leaders, causing them to collapse and behead. This wine also had a beautiful name, "Immortal Phoenix Soup," and it was said that if one didn't die, one could stay awake all night.
A tiny bottle of wine, barely half the size of a palm, plus a crab, costs two taels of silver. How delicious must that jar of wine that saved Zhang Cuihua have been?
The Empress Dowager had once lived in the Li family, which shows how lucky Li Xiaoxiao was. It would have been better if those two divine messengers hadn't come. Now that they had, the people were even more curious about what the Li family was worshipping and why they had such good fortune.
The outsiders were making a big fuss, but Li Xiaoxiao didn't ask too many questions. She just focused on her own work. In her previous life in the apocalypse, she taught herself a lot about pharmacology, just to treat injuries and illnesses. Now she had to study the pharmacology of this world more deeply.
There is an academy in the empire, the gate to the immortal realm. Only those with exceptional talent can enter this academy to cultivate. If one lacks talent, pharmacy is the best and fastest profession to learn.
It is also the gathering place of the most outstanding martial arts and magic practitioners on the entire continent.
Ye Linghua, who had severed her arm, could not be let go. He was a cancer on the continent. If someone set their sights on someone, they would live in the shadow of being hunted down for the rest of their life. His power had infiltrated every corner of the country.
Even Qi Yu was killed by Ye Linghua.
He has no choice but to become stronger. According to the previous plot, Ye Linghua is Qi Yu's master, and a female lead will appear later. Once that woman appears, Qi Yu may change his mind, after all, that person is the female lead, and they had a past relationship.
The future is beyond our control. Li Xiaoxiao clenched her fist and returned home. She began to constantly motivate herself to work hard. With many thoughts in her mind, she took the machete she hadn't brought before and went up the mountain to cut down trees.
Several transplanted peach trees in the yard were in bloom, and petals were scattered all over the ground. Li Xiaoxiao told them not to sweep them up yet. Qi Yu sat alone in the room, looking out the window. He took out a handkerchief with some marks on it. The man looked at it for a while, then wiped his face with the handkerchief before putting it in his pocket. His eyes showed a few traces of infatuation and intoxication.
"I will hold you firmly in my hands, just like this handkerchief."
