Chapter 52 Like-minded and clear conscience
Governor Zhou smelled it and suddenly felt weak.
At the same time, his blood suddenly surged up.
In less than a breath, Governor Zhou felt that his whole body was unbearably hot, and there was more lust in his eyes.
"It's actually a love potion?"
Han Xiangzi was shocked when he saw the changes in the governor of Zhou.
Suddenly, he hurriedly raised the fly whisk in his hand, and the latter suddenly felt the cold wind blowing against his face and shivered uncontrollably.
This resolved Governor Zhou’s embarrassment.
"Thank you, Master Immortal."
Governor Zhou felt that he had almost lost his composure, his face turned red, and he thanked Han Xiangzi.
"It's just a little effort."
Han Xiangzi smiled, but his eyes were fixed on the red pill.
"I didn't expect that this thing is so powerful. I just smelled it and almost made a fool of myself."
"Master Immortal, have you ever seen what the trick is?"
The governor of Zhou was amazed and asked with lingering fear.
"Most of these red pills are made by Mrs. Hu. If a man takes it, it can strengthen his yang energy. If a woman takes it, it will increase her charm."
"If you have sex regularly, it will also have the effect of harmonizing yin and yang and prolonging life. It should be much stronger and less harmful than ordinary aphrodisiacs."
Han Xiangzi took the red pill in Governor Zhou's hand, looked at it for a moment, and said.
This kind of thing cannot be refined by folk doctors.
Maybe Wu Sima asked Mrs. Hu to come here to curry favor with the powerful.
"You said Wu Sima wants to give this to Lord Zhu, Minister of Industry?"
Governor Zhou nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Wu Sima's retainers.
"Yes, Lord Governor."
At this time, the man was much more well-behaved. Seeing the Zhou governor's question, he quickly answered.
"It seems that Mr. Zhu is really old and strong. He knows his destiny and can still use this thing."
Hearing this, the governor of Zhou sneered.
This Wu Sima had always been in contact with officials in the capital, and Governor Zhou knew it well.
However, he never thought that the person Wu Sima was clinging to was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was in the third rank of the imperial court!
Master Zhu is really shameless!
Governor Zhou suddenly felt a little more agitated and ordered his followers to take Wu Sima's retainer into custody.
"A mere fox-milk fragrant pill can't cure Mr. Zhu's crimes."
"It's a bit difficult for the governor to make a fuss about this."
Han Xiangzi understood that the governor of Zhou wanted to use Wu Sima's hand to bring down some corrupt officials in the court.
But just because Wu Sima gave Mr. Zhu a bottle of fox-milk fragrant pills is not solid evidence at all, and will actually make him angry.
"Master Immortal, do you think the Three Fox case is related to Mr. Zhu?"
Governor Zhou was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked.
"There is no connection. Lord Zhu at most knows that there are some capable people around Wu Sima, but it would be too far-fetched to insist that he was involved in the case of the Three Foxes causing trouble in Qizhou."
"In this case, Wu Sima was the one who benefited, and he is the culprit. Punishing him severely will probably make Mr. Zhu restrain himself."
Han Xiangzi said without hesitation.
This Wu Sima wanted to return to Chang'an, but relying on his talent alone, it was undoubtedly difficult for others to rank among the best in the imperial examination.
That's why he took the wrong path.
"It seems that my thinking is simple. There are many powerful people in Chang'an, and they are intertwined. Clean people like Lord Han and Lord Di can't make the world flow smoothly. Why am I trying to be strong?"

Hearing this, Governor Zhou sighed with emotion.
"You don't need to be like this, Lord Governor. You are so upright and upright, and you have the heart to help the world. Although the road is difficult, there are still like-minded people accompanying you. If you keep going like this, why worry about the world not being prosperous?"
Han Xiangzi was touched and said with relief.
Logically speaking, he is a Taoist and should not have so many distracting thoughts in his heart.
Whether it’s a family or a country, it should be completely cut off.
But what Han Xiangzi wanted was always worthy of heaven and earth.
To him, the world of mortals is like a white cloud and a dog in the past, but if he can seize a moment and take the opportunity to understand the reincarnation of cause and effect in all things in the world, it will be of great benefit.
After hearing this, Zhou Yan felt that it was reasonable and said:
"The words of the immortal master are thought-provoking, and I have been taught a lesson."
Following Wu Sima's vine, you won't be able to pull anything upward, but you may be able to pull out a lot downward.
Han Xiangzi was concerned about Yun Niang. After the two chatted with Sima Wu, he asked the governor of Zhou:
"Master Governor, do you know the Qi clan in Weizhou?"
As the governor of a state, Governor Zhou was very well-informed. Speaking of the Qi family in Weizhou, he spoke eloquently:
"The Qi family is a well-known and prominent family in Weizhou. There is one third-rank official in the imperial court, and the Qi family has one. Between the third and fifth ranks, there are probably only one person. As for the fifth-rank and below, there are as many as twenty people.
”
"Why, the Immortal Master has a problem with the Qi clan?"
At the end of his words, Governor Zhou frowned and looked at Han Xiangzi.
"It's not about celebrating festivals, it's just that the Qi clan..."
Speaking of this, Han Xiangzi paused.
But in the end, she finally told him everything about Yun Niang.
After all, Han Xiangzi still trusted Zhou's governor.
"Is this happening?"
"This old man from the Qi family in Longshan is too cruel!"
"Ignoring the law, he failed to rape a common woman, but forced him to death, and finally skinned and extracted his bones. Such a heinous crime. If Longshan County was under the control of Qizhou, I would have dealt with him severely!"
After hearing what Han Xiangzi said, Governor Zhou looked shocked. He sympathized with Yun Niang's experience and was resentful of the injustice.
"As a Taoist, I cannot interfere too much in human affairs, so I asked the governor."
After Han Xiangzi told the whole story, he sighed helplessly.
Seeing this, Governor Zhou immediately expressed his stance:
"Don't worry, Immortal Master. After you return to Longshan, if Old Master Qi still doesn't want to be executed, you can come to Qizhou again and inform me."
"At that time, I will definitely write a report and submit it to Lintai along with Wu Sima's case."
"Now that Lintai is in power, it is the internal historian Di Huai Jie Di. He has always been impartial and selfless and hates evil. Once he is tried, he will investigate the case strictly."
Han Xiangzi did not refuse and agreed directly:
"That's very good. I'll help you, Lord Governor."
Di Huaiying's name is like thunder, no matter in his previous life or in today's Tang Dynasty!
If the white-bearded Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple still can't solve the problem, maybe he really has to rely on Governor Zhou.
However, if Taoist Shiraisu solves the problem properly, there is no need to trouble him anymore.
"Master Immortal, it's rare for me to come to the governor's mansion, why don't you stay in the mansion for a while?"
After drinking a cup of tea, Governor Zhou moistened his throat and suggested to Han Xiangzi.
At present, he intends to rectify the officialdom of Qizhou, but some evidence cannot be obtained in a short time.
If you want to act vigorously and resolutely, and take strict measures immediately, you may have to rely on Han Xiangzi.
"No problem."
Han Xiangzi understood his intention and smiled casually.
