Chapter 219: The Eighth Mission - The New Five Immortals 23
As for the rescued people brought by Mo Yiyi, Ling Xuzi turned them away without even saying anything.
After all, Ling Xuzi still had some compassion for these people and couldn't bear to see them die, so he was willing to put them into the city to protect Ichigo.
After all, even those five families cannot blatantly carry out the Enlightenment Festival, they must cover up their differences.
No matter how angry they were, they would not bother these people when they came to their door.
But can Mo Yiyi safely hand over these thousands of rescued people to Ling Xuzi?
Of course not!
What a joke, after the experience in Huiyang County, Mo Yiyi didn't trust anyone except her own people!
But Ling Xuzi's worry is very necessary. After all, it is the safety of the people in a county. Not to mention Ling Xuzi's refusal, even Mo Yiyi himself cannot agree.
But she felt uneasy without looking at Noila Mo. Finally, she thought about it and raised her hand to take ten high-grade spiritual stones!
This was the first time for Ling Xuzi to see a high-grade spiritual stone. The moment the spiritual stone was taken out, the unusual surge of spiritual energy made him guess what it was. At the same time, because of the spiritual energy mass caused by the high-grade spiritual stone, Ling Xuzi
A monk in the Qi refining stage simply cannot withstand it!
From this we can see the difference between sword cultivators of the Sword Sect and other monks.
It is also the Qi refining period. On the spaceship transporting new disciples, a large number of high-grade spiritual stones were gathered, and those sword cultivators in the Qi refining period were able to move freely.
But now, the aura caused by ten high-grade spiritual stones made Ling Xuzi give in!
As for Ling Xuzi's physical strength, she could only compare with the young sword cultivators before they went to the battlefield.
Although Ling Xuzi couldn't stand these spiritual energy balls, the attraction of the high-grade spiritual stones was still great. Although he didn't come to grab them, he stared at the ten high-grade spiritual stones without blinking!
Noila Mo did not hold the spirit stone to test people's hearts, but directly handed it forward and said at the same time.
"Take this, I won't hide it from Fellow Daoist Ling. Before coming to Shui County, I once passed through Huiyang County, where I encountered some bad things."
Ling Xuzi didn't expect that Mo Yiyi would tell him to hold the spirit stone. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and a big smile appeared on his originally tense face.
"I'm so sorry. Fellow Daoist Mo has spent a lot of money. He has spent a lot of money."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, resisting the pain of crystallization in his hands, took the ten high-grade spiritual stones, and put them away immediately!
Even though Ling Xuzi was very fast, the skin of his hands was completely crystallized.
However, Ling Xuzi is a monk and he will be cured after practicing cross-legged for a period of time, so neither Mo Yiyi nor Ling Xuzi paid much attention.
After putting the spirit stone in his arms, Ling Xuzi remembered the second half of what Mo Yiyi said, and quickly looked at Noila Mo with a worried look.
"Fellow Daoist Mo said he had been to Huiyang County, but what dangers had he encountered?"
Ling Xuzi didn't even know where Huiyang County was, but that didn't stop him from caring about Mo Yiyi.
"I did encounter some problems in Huiyang County. For some unknown reason, the county magistrate of Huiyang County colluded with the evil demon and deceived many people in the city into disappearing. There were many evil demons in the city, even those in the yamen
The county boss and most of the government officials have become evil spirits."
Ling Xuzi was shocked by Mo Yiyi's words. He never expected that Mo Yiyi would encounter such a thing.
But after thinking about it, he understood what Mo Yiyi meant.
To put it simply, Noila Mo also doubted him!
If Mo Yiyi had said this to him before, even if he knew that Mo Yiyi was a monk in the foundation building stage, he would definitely have walked away!
But now, after feeling the position of his storage bag and thinking about the ten high-grade spiritual stones that were just put inside, Ling Xuzi's anger can no longer be expressed!
"This matter is really too bad. As a county guard, how can you collude with evil monsters! It's really, really shameful for me to wait! Fellow Daoist Mo, don't worry, there are definitely not half an evil monster in our Shui County
, it is very safe here. Speaking of which, it is getting late today. Fellow Daoist Mo has rescued so many people, so he deserves a good night's rest. Although Shuixian County is small, there are still clean places to stay. Fellow Daoist Mo can
Do you want to come with me?"
This means that he is willing to let Mo Yiyi go to the city to check it out!
But even if Ling Xuzi accepted Mo Yiyi as a heavy gift like ten high-grade spiritual stones, he was only willing to let Mo Yiyi live in the city for one night, no more!
Noila Mo was not angry because she could only stay for one night. She felt that she had wasted the ten pieces of high-grade spiritual stones.
As a monk who guards the county, it is very correct to put the lives of the people first, and Mo Yiyi has no intention of involving other people.
Mo Yiyi has worries, but Mo Yiyi is fearless!
Although if Mo Yiyi used the trick for the bright side, her mission issued by the Sword Sect to the new disciples would probably fail, but as long as she can save her life, the mission is not that important to Mo Yiyi.
.
The only ones who would be tricked by Mo Yiyi might be Shuangxi and Honghua.
So Mo Yiyi had no objection to taking a look at what was going on inside Shuixian County before leaving.
Mo Yiyi followed Ling Xuzi into the city. Shuangxi, Honghua and the carriage were all left outside the city. They also had to assist the government officials in registering the people. Of course, the two of them were left behind because Mo Yiyi did not feel comfortable leaving those people alone.
Outside!
This Shuixian County is similar to Huiyang County. Because the county seat has the same magic circle, Shuixian County is the same size as the original Huiyang County. The internal construction is slightly different, but the poverty is the same.
When Mo Yiyi left, Huiyang County had become a wealthy county. With Mo Yiyi's aggressive spending of money, the people of Huiyang County benefited, and everyone became rich. And if nothing happens, they will continue to be like that.
rich.
After all, the concentration of spiritual energy in Huiyang County is so high, Huiyang County will definitely develop!
But Shuixian County is different. Shuixian County is the most ordinary, barren and remote county.
There are a lot of people here, but their lives are quite numb. There are not many people wearing good fabrics and clothes. Most of them have large patches and small patches, or traces of sewing directly with threads.
When Mo Yiyi first entered Huiyang County, she was not deeply aware of the poverty in Huiyang County. After all, Huiyang County at that time had lost a large part of its population, and there were not many people coming and going on the streets.
But Shuixian County is different. There is no large population loss in Shuixian County. People are coming and going on this street. If you look around, they are all poor people who are tanned, have calluses on their hands, their clothes can barely cover their bodies, and their hair is a little messy.
.
The atmosphere of poverty gathered together was very serious. After Mo Yiyi stared at it for a while, she couldn't help but start to worry about the placement of the thousands of people after they entered the city.
She was so worried that she asked this question.
However, Ling Xuzi, who was questioned by Mo Yiyi, was also confused.
"This... I don't know about this. This aspect is not under my control. If Mo Daoyou is curious, I can take you to ask the county magistrate of Shui County."
The county monk and the county master are still different.
It seems that the monks who are guarding the county are very useful, but in fact, the monks who are guarding the county are not in charge. Their main responsibility is to maintain the operation of the magic circle, charge the magic circle, and protect the towns when necessary.
fighting.
The management of towns also relied on mortal officials sent by the imperial court.
The monk who guards the county is obviously less aware of the sufferings of the world than Mo Yiyi. He agreed to Mo Yiyi very easily before, as if Shuixian County could take in these thousands of people very easily.
But what about reality.
Not only was it busy outside the city, but in the yamen inside the county seat, the county master was sitting in the high hall. He also put his black gauze hat aside and scratched his hair with the master in worry!
Mo Yiyi didn't need to ask any more questions. She knew it when she saw the sad look of the county master with messy hair!
Noila Mo stopped Ling Xuzi from asking, but she held her hand first and then said.
"I can solve the food ration problem for thousands of people outside the city. I am Mo Yiyi, a disciple of the Sword Sect. I happened to crash a group of monks performing a living sacrifice and brought these people to Shuixian County. It was indeed a helpless move. They are really too weak.
, unable to travel to larger cities.”
Mo Yiyi's words were very sincere, not to mention that she said that she could solve the food ration problem for thousands of people. In addition, she was brought in by the monk who was guarding the county. Even if the county magistrate could not see Mo Yiyi's identity with the naked eye, he
But he can also blindly guess that Mo Yiyi is probably a monk.
Therefore, the county magistrate looked very enthusiastic at the moment. He came down from his high position and greeted Mo Yiyi with a smile.
"No trouble, no trouble! What this fairy did is really a great thing, but Shui County is indeed a bit small, and it is really difficult to accommodate the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these thousands of people."
The county magistrate is not embarrassed at all. After all, this is a fact. Except for very wealthy counties, any county that wants to accommodate a thousand people at once will have insufficient inventory!
After Mo Yiyi exchanged greetings with the county magistrate, the magistrate couldn't wait to take Mo Yiyi to the warehouse.
To accommodate these thousands of people, the place to live is still crowded, but there is not enough food and clothing to squeeze out.
The county magistrate was also worried. Before seeing the actual food, he couldn't be sure whether the amount of food that Mo Yiyi could provide would be enough for these thousand people!
Fortunately, Mo Yiyi didn't brag and didn't disappoint the county magistrate. The grain she brought out actually filled two large granaries! With so much grain, if you eat sparingly, it's enough to feed these thousands of people for a year!
After all, these people are not the people of Shuixian County. A large part of them will leave after a period of recuperation. Therefore, if you plan carefully, you may not know that there will be some leftover food in the end!
No local official could refuse the grand sight of a warehouse full of grain, and the county magistrate could not refuse either!
But what was unexpected was that before it was over, Mo Yiyi also took out 50,000 taels of silver!
It's not a silver note, it's a genuine fifty thousand taels of silver!
It is no exaggeration to say that so much silver is piled up that it forms a hill!
Not to mention ordinary mortals like the county magistrate, even the monk Ling Xuzi was stunned when he saw so much money!
Mo Yiyi asked these people to calm down and wait until they recovered from the impact of the money.
"If those people want to leave, they will definitely need some money. And the way back is bound to be unsafe. It would be better if they can follow the caravan or collect some money and hire some powerful people to go with them. These silver taels can be considered as travel expenses for them.
.If someone wants to settle in Shuixian County, these silver taels can be considered as settlement expenses for them. There are only three of us from the same family, so we can't do this. I think I can only trouble the county magistrate and the people in the yamen to help distribute it."
After hearing this, the county magistrate and the master swallowed, and then showed a kind smile to Mo Yiyi.
"Of course, fairy, just don't worry, I will definitely make arrangements for these people!"
Mo Yiyi gave a lot of silver, but she was afraid that the travel expenses or settlement expenses that would eventually fall into the hands of these people would be too small and not enough for them.
Mo Yiyi could only stay in the county town for a day, so she would definitely not be able to deal with such matters as corruption.
As for her giving the money directly to these people before leaving, that's even worse!
The yamen came forward to distribute the money and the people got it. If someone had bad intentions and tried to rob it, the yamen would definitely come forward to stop it!
But if Mo Yiyi comes to distribute it, it can indeed guarantee that they will get the amount of silver in their hands, but after she leaves, who will guarantee that the money in their hands will not be further exploited?
From Mo Yiyi's point of view, money or something is still a trivial matter after all. If you are injured or even killed when being exploited, it will be more than worth the loss!
Therefore, Mo Yiyi gave a lot more money, which meant that the greedy people were fed at once, so that they would no longer worry about the money distributed to the people!
Of course, it's possible that Mo Yiyi was misinformed. Maybe the county magistrate and the government officials in this county are all honest and would not embezzle the money given to the people by Mo Yiyi.
But Mo Yiyi can no longer control this. She gave the money. How much can be distributed to the people depends on the conscience of these people!
It doesn't matter even if you don't give them anything, as long as you can protect them for the sake of the money and find some reliable caravans to arrange people in so that they can get home smoothly, this is also good!
Magistrate Qiancai smiled and accepted it. Looking at each other, Mo Yiyi felt that the magistrate should have understood what he meant, but he was not sure. In the end, this kind of matter could not be directly asked openly, so Mo Yiyi left
When I was working in the county government, I kept thinking about this matter.
It wasn't until she was accompanied by Ling Xuzi and walked around the entire county without finding any suspicious evil spirits that she breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the matter.
Forget it, she has done everything she can. As for the results of these people, it can only depend on God's will.
Ling Xuzi, who had walked around with Mo Yiyi, breathed a sigh of relief now. He was also afraid that something would happen to the county he was guarding, so when he walked with Mo Yiyi, he was worried about something unexpected happening.
Now that it was confirmed that there was no problem in Shuixian County, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little proud at the same time.
