Fanyang County, County Sheriff's Mansion.

The prefect Wei Hui, who is dressed in loose clothes, big sleeves and a solemn appearance, welcomed a distinguished guest today.

A generation of great Confucians who came from the capital and had a reputation throughout the world. He worked with Zheng Gong, Cai Gong and other celebrities to organize the classics, and established forty-six classics in Taixue Palace.

This prince was born in Fan Yang, and not to mention his own achievements, his family is extremely prominent. Compared with this, he, the governor of a remote place, naturally has to be careful.

Even if he is now at peace and idle at home, he is not someone he can offend at will.

Waiting in front of the threshold, watching the carriage slowly come to a stop, and a figure stepping out of it, Wei Hui could not help but feel refreshed:

"Mr. Lu, please come in quickly!"

The black-clothed county guard had a warm smile on his face and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

After Lu Zhi got out of the car, he immediately saw the enthusiastic Wei Hui.

"Please be polite."

"Sorry for disturbing you."

The scribe in casual clothes adhered to etiquette and responded gently.

Afterwards, the two of them chatted and laughed, then entered the governor's mansion, walked through the corridor, and sat down in the guest room.

The attendants on both sides had been waiting for a long time. They poured warm tea with a delicate fragrance and placed it in front of the two of them. Then they bowed and stepped back, standing outside the threshold, waiting for instructions.

"Mr. Lu, I have been waiting for you day and night, so I have invited you here."

"Wei Hui has admired Duke Lu for a long time since he took up the post of governor of Fanyang County. Today, it is a great blessing in life to be able to sit down and talk with him. It should come to light!"

The posture of Governor Fan Yang was very low. Seeing this, Lu Zhi smiled bitterly:

"Wei Shijun's words are serious. The relegated person returns to his hometown to teach. How can he deserve this respect? You and I can just be friends with our peers."

"If this happens again, it will only make me more constrained."

"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be."

He waved his hand, picked up the tea and took a sip:

"Wei Shijun invited me here today, but for the sake of my nephew Julu?"

After talking about business,

The smile on Wei Hui's face gradually became more serious. After coughing twice, he replied:

"Mr. Lu is really a sharp eye, he can see what I am thinking at a glance."

"Yes, today I just want to ask Mr. Lu whether the young man named Zhang Julu is really a disciple of Mr. Zheng?"

"What this son has done, if he is not from a noble family and he is a disciple of a great Confucian scholar, it would be hard not to make people suspicious..."

Wei Hui's words contained some questioning meaning.

In the past six months, there has been almost a craze in the southern part of Youzhou, especially Fanyang County and the counties under its jurisdiction.

There was a young boy who, under the guise of curing and rescuing diseases, traveled all over the counties of Youzhou.

Every time he visits a county, he stays for three days, using only talismans to perform free medical consultations for ordinary people at the bottom who have no way to seek medical treatment, without taking any money, and the effect is immediate.

In the past six months, it has even saved tens of thousands of people, large and small.

Now in this huge territory of Youzhou, if you ask the people at the bottom, they may not know who the governor of Youzhou is, and they may not know who the county governor is.

But once the great sage and mentor Zhang Julu is mentioned, almost everyone knows about him.

Moreover, this son also deliberately recruited disciples, taught martial arts and talismans, and taught them carefully. He called them Taiping, and he had a vague atmosphere.

To this day, there are young people who practice talisman and Qi refining, wearing yellow scarves on their heads, and in the surrounding areas, in the name of a great virtuous teacher, they imitate his behavior and treat the common people.

Although the effect is not as good as that of his teacher, it is still quite effective. It can be seen that it is a small achievement.

From all these points of view, the Taiping Sect may only have its foundation at the moment, but any knowledgeable person can see that in the long run, this sect and this giant deer will definitely become something different.

It would be fine if he followed the right path.

But if you have any evil thoughts...

That means they have failed in their duties.

Wei Hui had not heard of the rumors that Lu Zhi had released before.

Unfortunately, the noise this boy made was too big.

Therefore, the question he asked today not only represents himself, but also the meaning of the following county guards and even the governor.

Facing his implicit inquiry, Lu Zhi was calm and replied immediately and affirmatively:

"This makes you feel relieved."

"I have witnessed most of Zhang Julu's academic journey from the time he became a disciple of Zheng Xiu to the time he left school and traveled around the world. I also think that I have a certain understanding of his lifelong aspirations."

"This is a child who cares about the world and has a sincere heart. Although I don't know that he has the skills of a qi refining alchemist, his attainments in the Five Classics can be regarded as the first person in the Taixue Palace of his generation."

"With this kind of qualification, even if you become a general or a general in the future, you may not be able to do so!"

"Therefore, he will not have any agenda as the envoy and many adults think."

"On this point, I can act as guarantee together with Mr. Zheng, so you can rest assured."

Lu Zhi held the tea cup and spoke in a leisurely tone, without seeming to be hypocritical.

After hearing his words, Wei Hui nodded slightly.

"Since I can get such endorsement from Mr. Lu, I think there shouldn't be anything wrong with me."

"I heard that this son comes from a noble family. He is the son of the Zhang family in Dangyang, Jizhou. He is considered to be from a famous family. He also became a disciple of a great Confucian scholar. It seems that this move is also to gain a career advancement for himself."

"Then let him develop on his own. After his fame spreads widely, we will sell him some face, recommend his achievements to the court, and give him a bright future."

"After all, the world's noble families are one family!"

Wei Hui put aside a concern and then mentioned it casually while chatting and laughing.

Because in his heart, Ji Qiu's behavior did not constitute any illegal behavior. This time was just to verify with Lu Zhi.

During the four hundred years of the Great Flame, how could the world be shaken by an idle person?

From his point of view, this kid's show of kindness to the common people at the bottom is nothing more than seeking a good reputation.

Moreover, he had worked tirelessly for half a year, but he had gained a lot of political achievements, which were almost as good as those he had picked up for free, which really made Wei Hui very happy.

Since he has a good background and has a famous teacher, what's the harm in leaving a relationship?

Hearing Wei Hui's words, Lu Zhi looked strange and did not respond.

"Is this really the case..."

The scribe thought to himself and shook his head gently without making any comments.

At least based on his opinion, this nephew of Julu... is probably not what Wei Hui said, but he really cares about the world.

Based on this alone, many scholars are inferior to you!

The two of them had different thoughts, but on the surface, they still maintained the noble demeanor and chatted about some elegant things.

While talking.

However, the chief clerk of the county governor's house looked silent. He walked up to the hall, leaned next to Wei Hui, and handed over a letter.

Wei Hui, who was chatting with Lu Zhi with a faint smile on his face, originally looked happy, but after reading the letter, his face turned pale, and he even smashed the tea cup on the table in anger, causing a splash.

Drinking tea one after another.

Feeling something was wrong in the atmosphere, Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows.

What could make a well-educated county guard show such an expression?

Feeling a little strange, he immediately asked:

"What happened to Mr. Wei that made him feel so heavy?"

After hearing Lu Zhi's inquiry, Wei Hui realized that his behavior was inappropriate, so he said with a somewhat ugly expression:

"A major epidemic suddenly broke out in the east of Fanyang County. In just three days, civilians rushed to spread the disease. It spread from ten to ten and to hundreds of people. It has reached an unstoppable level."

"A rough estimate is that tens of thousands of civilians have been affected, and it is still spreading. Not only that, but other surrounding areas in Youzhou also seem to be spreading!"

"this..."

Since the death of the late emperor, for some unknown reason, the world of the Great Yan Dynasty has suffered from small disasters every three years and major disasters every five years. In recent days, they have become even more frequent.

There is a situation happening in Youzhou right now, and I don’t know how many people will die because of it.

Thinking of this, Wei Hui couldn't help but feel upset, so he waved his hand, called the chief clerk and said:

"Tell the county magistrates below to treat these infected civilians as refugees, drive them together as soon as possible, build a temporary nest outside the city, and let them fend for themselves. Don't let the situation continue to spread!"

"Those who dare to disobey will be killed with force with force as a warning to others!"

"This matter is not trivial. Based on the situation in previous years, if it is not contained in time, it is estimated that it will spread more widely."

"If they are almost dead, just burn them all and cremate them all to avoid future troubles!"

Hearing the order issued by Wei Hui without hesitation, Lu Zhi frowned:

"Wei Shijun, are you going to let tens of thousands of people die without saving a single one of them?"

"They are also the people of Dayan. Is this too ruthless?"

Hearing that the scribe seemed to have unbearable thoughts, Wei Hui frowned and sighed helplessly:

"I know what you are thinking, but if there is any other way, I am not willing to do it."

"In the past, if these spreading diseases were not targeted immediately, more people would die in the end, and there would even be a tendency to spread to a state."

"And as the news spreads, among those doctors and doctors, who is not afraid of death and dares to treat diseases and save people? Not to mention whether they can save lives, I estimate that not one of them is willing to go."

"Masters of martial arts and literature are also helpless in this regard. As for the foreign alchemists..."

Wei Hui snorted coldly:

"Those people in the mountains and fields may have methods, but most of them are self-righteous and aloof, and regard the world as nothing. They don't even look down on aristocratic families, let alone the common people below."

"Especially the Tongyou Road in Youzhou. As for the crooked roads they built, it's good if they don't cause trouble. If you expect them, it's better to ask the county guard to deal with it personally!"

"By the way, Mr. Lu, please write a letter first to restrain your nephew who is under the banner of Taiping. I think he is young, but he must not be dazzled by the recent actions to help the world, and do not take the epidemic as an example.

Take it seriously."

"Maybe he will be fine if he practices cultivation, but how many people can he save? Instead of wasting time, it is better to change places and continue to spread the word that fame is coming."

"It seems that I can't have a smooth talk with you today. I will definitely come to your door in person to apologize to you someday."

Standing up from his seat, Wei Hui apologized and left in a hurry with the chief clerk in his governor's mansion.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi was slightly silent and said no more.

Standing in Wei Hui's position, what he did was right.

If it were someone else, they might not be able to do better.

So a long conversation, with twists and turns, came to an end in a hurry.

...

And the other side.

In the inner room of the courtyard, Ji Qiu looked at the child who was no more than seven or eight years old with a gentle expression on his face.

"Aping, the talisman is not drawn like this."

"You need to inject your spiritual energy, and then like this...and like this...continue to the end without stopping, and like this, a spiritual talisman with spirituality that can save people's lives is completed."

Ji Qiu raised his finger and waved the spiritual light to separate the talisman in the air. Then he dipped his finger in cinnabar as a pen to complete the lines of a disease-removing talisman, and finally injected spiritual energy into it, completing it in one go.

The child on the side watched obediently, with bright eyes. After seeing the talisman drawn in the air, he clapped his hands repeatedly and exclaimed:

"Sir is so awesome!"

The spiritual light overflowed and he put the talisman in his hand. Ji Qiu handed it to the child with a smile and said:

"It's not that great. You kid can do it in the future, and you can do it better."

"But before that, you have to practice hard and not be stubborn. Do you understand?"

Ji Qiu's words were somewhat harsh.

Upon seeing this, the child in commoner clothes with a fair complexion immediately nodded obediently:

"Okay sir, Aping understands."

Seeing this, Ji Qiu smiled and said nothing, and touched his little head, with an unnoticeable wonder in his eyes.

【Zhang Taiping】

[At the age of 8: Both his parents died. He suffered from hunger and cold in the autumn and died of illness in an alley. 】

This child has no name.

Zhang Taiping's name was given to him by Ji Qiu. Taking Taiping as his name was enough to show that Ji Qiu had high hopes for him.

Logically speaking, this son should have died, but Ji Qiu accidentally saved his life. Later, he felt pity for him and was afraid that he would die in the streets, so he took him under his tutelage.

This was an unintentional move. Even if he did not have the qualifications for Qi refining, Ji Qiu would arrange for him to practice martial arts and join his sect without starving him to death.

But who would have thought that this boy's qualifications were extremely evil. In one day, he ranked first among more than thirty Qi refining disciples in terms of his ability to release Qi, and he far surpassed the others!

Ji Qiu is undoubtedly knowledgeable.

He could tell at a glance that this boy was as talented as Zhao Huanzhen and Su Qixiu who were born with Taoism!

He immediately realized that he had found a treasure this time.

Although I don’t know what his talent is, I think he must be a short-term approach and have the appearance of a saint!

"God took pity on me and gave me such a talent, but it's a pity that I didn't have the destiny to achieve enlightenment."

"But it was a chance that you met me in this life."

"Just ask me to go against this fate for you and see how far you can go with your future destiny."

Looking at this fair-skinned child who looked nothing like a child from a poor family, Ji Qiu thought to himself.

Snap!

Just when he was teaching Zhang Taiping.

The door was pushed open, and then a dark-skinned young man hurriedly stepped in. It was Heishan who had previously been outstanding in martial arts.

As soon as he saw Ji Qiu, he loudly said:

"Sir, what you told us to pay attention to before has happened!"

"And the situation seems to be very bad, uukanshu www.uukanshu.com, please take a look!"

The young man said as he handed the letter to Ji Qiu.

After receiving the letter, Ji Qiu only glanced at it to know what the situation was.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh.

What was supposed to happen could not be avoided after all. Even if he had donated money in advance, this epidemic was completely illogical. It just happened when it was said to happen, making it difficult for people to prevent it.

"I hope it can be contained..."

Following the local customs, the young man, who had retired from his brocade clothes and was only wearing a jute shirt, put away the letter with a serious expression on his face and forcibly cheered up.

He wanted to save these people.

Perhaps none of the Gonggun princes above the court, or the high-ranking officials of Youzhou County, care about the life and death of the common people below, because it is just a number that grows one after another.

But come to think of it, some people will care after all.
