Chapter 40 Five Thousand Stones of Grain
At noon, Lu Yin invited Chu Danqing to have lunch. When they were about to set off, a priest named Xie Liyang arrived.

The other person was an old man with rosacea, and one could smell of alcohol on him.

He was dressed like an old farmer, except for a clear green jade gourd around his waist which was very eye-catching.

"Master, please forgive me for being a little late." Xie Liyang said apologetically, "On my way here, a group of thieves blocked my way, so I was delayed."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Xie? We are just about to set off." Lu Yin naturally knew that Xie Liyang would not be late for no reason, there must be a reason.

As for the so-called thieves, they must not be ordinary people, but it is not convenient to say it directly.

"This is Chu Mochu, the worshipper. He is good at taming beasts and summoning spirits." Lu Yin introduced.

Xie Liyang looked Chu Danqing up and down, and did not look down on him because of his young age.

After both parties greeted each other, they set off together for the Ji family.

The scene was not big, just a carriage and a few servants, with three people sitting in the carriage and chatting.

Chu Danqing also took this opportunity to find out a lot of information.

There were officials and Taiping Daoists, and among them they also knew the origin of the previous leader of Qingya Village. He was a member of the Xiliang White Tiger Army guarding the border.

It is not easy for ordinary people to obtain magical powers, but it is different for the border troops. The fighting is brutal, especially for the Western Liang White Tiger Army, where nine out of ten soldiers have magical powers.

However, this is also related to the particularity of "White Tiger Weapon Training Manual", which focuses on fighting to support fighting.

That's why the proportion is so high.

This method is easy to get started with but difficult to master, and it is easy to suffer hidden injuries that cut off the path. Therefore, there are many practitioners, but only a few who achieve success.

Chu Danqing also learned about Lu's "Heavenly Fire Burning the Prairie Sutra", and Xie Liyang is now turning to practice this method.

However, Lu Yin did not seem to be practicing, but was practicing other methods.

Chu Danqing was not very clear about the specific situation.

After all, he is my temporary boss, so it’s not good to ask too much.

At the same time, Chu Danqing truly understood the differences between the Lu family and the Ji family.

The Lu family has a family tradition as its foundation, but the Ji family does not.

No matter how rich you are, you are just a nouveau riche.

Ji Zhen led the upper corpse into his body, and used it to comprehend the method of beheading the three corpses in the human volume of "Taiping Shu", and thus created a volume of Ji's method to complete the original accumulation.

We chatted a lot on the way and stopped only after arriving at Ji's house.

Lu Yin sent a visiting invitation in advance, and Ji Yun was well prepared, so he got straight to the point after meeting.

"Master Ji, the silver and money are correct, but why is the amount of grain so much?" Lu Yin looked at the contents on the deed and pointed at the amount of grain in it and asked.

Previously, Chu Danqing said it was one thousand stones, totaling five hundred thousand coins.

The amount was fine, but the amount of grain increased from one thousand shi to five thousand shi.

Lu Yin did not become complacent about this and secretly ignore it, but pointed out the problem.

He couldn't be sure if there was any calculation involved.

"Thanks to the help of Chu Gongfeng, my old man is now in better condition."

"My Ji family has nothing to offer in return. Since the Lu family wants food, we can't be stingy for the sake of Chu Gongsheng."

"So I sold you 4,000 dan more, and since I thought Mr. Lu must have only brought 500,000 coins, I lowered the price as well." Ji Yun explained the reason lightly.

After hearing this, a strange look flashed in Lu Yin's eyes.

He hadn't expected Chu Danqing to hold such a high position within the Ji family; it truly was beyond his expectations. "Hahaha, what a coincidence!" Lu Yin followed suit, pulling out a porcelain bottle. "Upon returning, Minister Chu immediately requested a Liuli Heart Cleansing Pill for Elder Ji."

"I will only let you take one after thousands of guarantees."

"With this pill, Mr. Ji will be safe."

Ji Yun's eyes showed surprise. He didn't expect that Chu Danqing could actually ask for a Liuli Cleansing Heart Pill for him. His status in the Lu family was really not low.

He had also heard of the great name of this pill. It was a precious pill unique to the Lu family. They spent countless silver coins every year but only produced one or two pills at most.

After taking it, it can control demonic obstacles, suppress poison in the heart, restore clarity of mind, and help with magical powers.

His father Ji Zhen just needed such a precious pill to help him.

"Then I'd be honored to refuse it." Ji Yun did not refuse and took it immediately.

Chu Danqing didn't quite understand why both of them took the credit for themselves, but as long as everyone was happy, it was fine.

Then the two sides began to make the transaction. Lu Yin took out a silver note worth 500,000 coins. After Ji Yun received it, he asked someone to take Xie Liyang to collect the grain.

Then the two sides started chatting.

Chu Danqing actually wanted to leave. The contribution of food was being settled, and there was still some time today, so he wanted to make a contribution to maintaining the order of the porridge distribution.

But he didn't dare to bring it up, so he could only join in the conversation.

"Mr. Lu, what are your thoughts on these three corpses?" Ji Yun suddenly changed the subject and talked about business.

"I think the corpse is most likely in the government office." Lu Yin continued calmly.

"Yes, before noon, the county lieutenant was replaced by a young man who is good at boxing and acts decisively." Ji Yun said.

Chu Danqing was moved when he heard this and immediately asked, "But she looks like this."

"That's right, does Mr. Chu know him?" Ji Yun didn't expect that Chu Danqing could actually describe the appearance of the county lieutenant.

"We met once." The person Chu Danqing described was the dimensional apostle who looked like a young man with a flat head.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually became a county lieutenant, a position much higher than Chu Danqing's worshiper.

The most important thing is that the county lieutenant holds the military power of Yangxian County.

"The new county lieutenant calls himself the Fierce Fist. His achievements aside, it's absurd that he could have risen to the position of county lieutenant in one step."

"Xia Shiqiao was lustful and lustful, and the former county lieutenant was so blinded by lust that he even thought of forcing the prefect's first wife. Fortunately, the vicious county lieutenant arrived in time."

"Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." Ji Yun felt a little scared when he said this.

If a scandal really happens, the situation in Yangxian County will become even more confusing.

"What about the former county lieutenant?" Chu Danqing asked.

"He was killed by a vicious fist, and a foreign object was dug out from his body. Someone with insight recognized it as the Lower Corpse Skeleton." Ji Yun answered Chu Danqing's question.

"It seems that they will attack Taiping Dao soon." Lu Yin added.

How could the prefect bear it?

The county lieutenant was under control, and they were still trying to stir up conflict among them. What did the Taiping Dao want to do?
"Both our families should make preparations early to avoid being affected." Ji Yun said this not to Lu Yin, but to Chu Danqing.

Keep him away from Taipingdao, and it’s best if he has no connection with it.

"With this, half of the threat from the Three Corpses has been eliminated." Chu Danqing understood and continued, "But the person behind this is still nowhere to be found."

"You and I don't have to worry about this matter. Now that the government has entered the scene, this person will be skinned alive even if he can escape." Lu Yin understood that the real ruler of Yangxian County has always been the government.
