Chapter 138 New County Magistrate

This time, the big goose laid a total of 30 eggs, all of which hatched successfully.

Because their parents are strong, these 30 goslings are mutant goslings as soon as they hatch, and they have greater growth potential.

Facing these 30 goslings, Yushan is more concerned than Ergouzi. He takes care of them carefully every day and serves the goslings like their own father.

Sometimes Yushan whispers to these goslings behind Ergouzi's back.

Those goslings have not grown their feathers yet. I don't know where their arrogance comes from. They always show arrogance to Yushan's enthusiasm.

Seeing this, Ergouzi only sneered with disdain.

"Fool! You still want to teach the big goose to talk!"

With Yushan in charge and Chang Ling'er urging the snake demon to plow the land, Ergouzi doesn't need to worry about anything on the mountain.

He has recently refined a large number of Peiyuan Dan.

The earliest batch of ginseng in the field has reached a medicinal age of 70 years.

After being improved by the gourd, the quality is comparable to that of 100-year-old ginseng.

The success rate of refining Peiyuan Dan with this kind of ginseng has been greatly improved, and now one furnace can produce four or five pills.

It is enough for me to eat, and I can occasionally share one pill with the goose.

It is a pity that the spiritual power of the medicinal material can only be improved once by the gourd, and the medicinal properties cannot be improved again after the pill is refined.

Those genuine Peiyuan Dan made with 100-year-old ginseng can be improved again by the gourd, and the effect is stronger than that made by myself.

As his cultivation level improves and his spiritual awareness strengthens, he has recently learned a lot of new content from the alchemy inheritance of Baihe Zhenren.

Now he can recognize thousands of spiritual medicines and master dozens of pill recipes.

He has learned all kinds of pills needed for the Qi training period.

Including the foundation-building pill that is regarded as a treasure by the Great Zhou Dynasty, he also has a pill recipe. If he has the materials, he should be able to refine it.

At present, he has a fire spirit grass in his hand. If he can gather the other four, the medicinal materials for the foundation-building pill will be gathered.

Unfortunately, this thing needs to be registered. If it is not registered, even if the foundation is successfully built, it will be treated as an evil cultivator.

He now has more than ten kinds of spiritual medicines, and can only make three kinds of pill recipes in total.

One is Peiyuan Pill, the main medicine is ginseng.

Now that his cultivation has been improved, the effect of taking Peiyuan Pill to improve his cultivation is not as good as before.

One is Juqi Pill, the main medicine is Juling Grass.

Juqi Pill is more effective than Peiyuan Pill, but he doesn't have many medicinal materials, which he got from the spiritual field in Chengxi Town last time.

There are not many of these spiritual medicines, and they are still being reproduced, so he is reluctant to use them.

Another one is Huanzhen Pill, a pill for healing.

He has dozens of pill recipes, but because of insufficient spiritual medicines, he can only refine these three.

Er Gouzi often feels regretful about this, and he has a legacy of alchemy in vain.

He has already obtained all the spiritual medicine varieties available in Anchang County.

Many spiritual medicines have special requirements for the growth environment, so it is not easy to encounter them. You have to wait for the opportunity in the future.

One day, Er Gouzi was still refining pills on the mountain, but a group of soldiers came to the foot of the mountain.

This group of people looked very fierce, and the children playing at the foot of the mountain were kicked.

The people under Er Gouzi were all blood-thirsty, including the young wives and girls, none of them were docile.

Immediately, a large group of people formed a formation at the foot of the mountain, blocking the way of the soldiers, ready to fight against them.

Er Gouzi was startled by the noise at the foot of the mountain, threw down a furnace of pills, and hurriedly rode down on a big horse.

There were about 100 soldiers in this group, and Er Gouzi recognized their attire. They were the army from the county government.

The leading officer was an old acquaintance, the groom who was beaten by him in the examination room.

There was also an attendant from Anchang County, who was also an old acquaintance, the Dianshi who fell off a goose.

"Criminal Zhang Ergou, why don't you surrender?"

When Xia Mafu saw Ergou, he immediately yelled, and several officers and soldiers came with chains, ready to arrest him.

"What did I do wrong?"

Ergou was still confused. Some time ago, Yang Tie told him that the Xia family would not embarrass him for the sake of King Qi.

Why did someone come to the door today?

"Criminal Zhang Youliang and Zhang Youxin colluded with the evil cult to rebel. According to the law, nine clans should be executed. Now the emperor is so generous that only three clans of yours will be executed."

"Zhang Ergou, as a member of Zhang Youliang's clan, you are naturally on the list of executions."

Xia Mafu took out an official document and showed it proudly.

After this guy passed the military examination, he became a small official in the army.

It happened that the court had an imperial decree to execute the leaders of the rebellion.

Seeing that Zhang Ergou was on the list, he first grabbed the job of Anchang County.

It was a good opportunity to take revenge.

"What are you still hesitating about? Take him down!"

I didn't expect that Zhang Youliang and his brothers rebelled, and the final charge fell on Er Gouzi.

These officers and soldiers received the order and immediately went forward to take people.

The farmers under Er Gouzi formed a formation to block in front.

Although they were holding hoes, shoulder poles and sickles, they were at least a team trained by Ji Cang himself.

The power they exuded even overwhelmed the county officials and soldiers.

The conflict between the two sides was imminent, but no one dared to take action for the time being.

The county officials and soldiers were afraid that they would not be able to win, get beaten, and maybe even be beaten to death, asking for trouble.

Er Gouzi's side was full of ordinary people, and they were still a little afraid of the officers and soldiers, and they dared not take action.

It was not that they were afraid of not being able to win, but that the officials and soldiers of the court could not be touched.

Officers and soldiers can kill civilians at will, but if they dare to resist, it will become a rebellion, and the court can legitimately send a large army to suppress it.

The rebellion that once swept across Qingzhou was suppressed, and the few people in Shekou Mountain are even less capable of that.

"Lord Xia, please calm down!"

"Maybe there are some misunderstandings here."

Just when the two sides were deadlocked, the Anchang County Dianshi came out and persuaded Xia Mafu to act as a peacemaker.

Then he walked to Er Gouzi alone, leaned in front of him and whispered.

"Mr. Zhang, do you know who is the new county governor of Sanyang County today?"

Er Gouzi was a little confused when he heard this. He mentioned the county governor to him at this time. Could he be an acquaintance?

"Who?"

"Could it be the previous county magistrate of Anchang County?"

Seeing the Anchang County Dianshi, Er Gouzi naturally thought of the previous county magistrate.

"That's right."

"It seems that Mr. Zhang knew it a long time ago."

The Dianshi nodded and continued with a smile.

"The county magistrate was promoted to the governor of Sanyang County for his meritorious service in defending the city and suppressing the rebellion."

"Now you know what you should do, right?"

"What should I do?"

Er Gouzi blurted out, but he quickly reacted.

Most of the land in his hands was bought from the previous county magistrate at the price of one or two taels of silver.

Now that Yang Tie, who protected him, is gone, the other party must want to get the land back.

"Does the county magistrate want to take the land back?"

"No! It's so far away, and it's not easy for the county magistrate to take care of it. I'll sell it to you, but I have to charge some principal and interest."

The Dianshi said, and glanced at the officers and soldiers in the county city.

That means that what Er Gouzi had eaten before, now he has to spit out the principal and interest.

If he doesn't spit it out, the officers and soldiers will take action.

"How much principal and interest does the county magistrate want to charge!"

"50 spiritual stones."

The Dianshi said coldly.
