This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 20: Little Constable, Don't Make Me Kneel Down and Beg You

County Lieutenant Qin stood up angrily, his fake smile changed, and his straight back bent a lot.

He walked out quickly and invited the brat who he described as "loud and undisciplined" in.

Xiao He.

When Xiang Yuan saw this face, his eyelids twitched. He knew that he was going to be unlucky today, but he didn't expect it to be so unlucky.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, I asked you to come get me an umbrella, why didn't you come? Did you forget?"

Xiao He surrounded Xiang Yuan with a grin on his face, but Xiang Yuan ignored him without saying a word. County Lieutenant Qin surrounded Xiao He with a smile on his face, but Xiao He didn't even turn his head and ignored him.

They are so similar!

Old Liu looked at the scene in surprise. As a smart man, he immediately guessed that Xiao He had an extraordinary background. He just didn't understand how Xiang Yuan, who came from the same peasant background as him, got to know such a person.

It seems that the opponent is taking the initiative.

That's strange!
According to Lao Liu's idea, if it were him, Xiao He wouldn't have to pay for it, he would have done it himself.

Old Liu looked at Xiang Yuan, who shook his head slightly and said nothing.

Xiao He was not angry or disappointed. He turned to look at the county lieutenant Qin and said with a sneer: "Who are you? Why are you making so much noise?"

"Your humble servant Qin Yun, the lieutenant of Fengxian County. Sir, do you still remember that when you first arrived in this county, Lord Sima and Lord Wu welcomed you, and I even toasted you with two glasses of wine!" County Lieutenant Qin couldn't straighten his back any more.

"Oh, it's you. It seems to be the case."

Xiao He blinked, with a look of "I don't remember who you are" and said, "My lord, please forgive me for any offense."

"You are joking, sir. There is no adult here." County Lieutenant Qin said flatteringly.

"Don't laugh yet. I heard it clearly just now. You are asking who the person is and whose family taught this brat, right?"

Xiao He narrowed his eyes and said, "My father, Xiao Yan, taught me to be such a jerk. If you don't believe me, you can go to Guanshandao Zhendianfu to question him."

In a flash, Qin County Lieutenant was sweating profusely, trembling with fear, his face as pale as a paper man, and trembling, he said: "I have spoken out of turn, I hope you will handle it with care and do not alarm King Zhao."

King Zhao!

The lord of the eight states, the Grand Chancellor of Guanshan Road.

This kid has such a good background?

Xiang Yuan exclaimed that it was unbelievable. From top to bottom, inside and out, Xiao He did not look like a son of a prince at all. Was this a typical case of a tiger father and a dog son, or a hero giving birth to an evil beast?
Old Liu also exclaimed that it was unbelievable. He had more common sense than Xiang Yuan. He had heard about the situation in Prince Zhao's Mansion and knew an interesting story about this prince.

Many years ago, a Taoist priest told Xiao Yan that he was destined to have ninety-nine sons, and that perfection would be achieved if all nine of them returned to one place.

Xiao Yan was busy giving birth to children, but he felt that he was going too slow, so he adopted many sons. If you calculate the time, he should be at least eighty years old, if not ninety.

In this case, sending the most troublesome and most likely to cause trouble to the most troublesome son to Fengxian County, so that he can be out of sight and out of mind, is just reasonable and makes sense.

What surprised Old Liu was not Xiao He's background, but the same question: when did Xiang Yuan get in touch with this person and make him so obsessed with her?
Why didn’t Old Liu have such a good thing happen to him!

On the other hand, Xiao He had Qin County Wei in his control, and relying on his father's power over the eight states, he played Qin County Wei around.

After having fun, he slowly said, "Xiao Qin, who are you hosting this banquet for? This police officer and Brother Xiao Yuan?"

"Brother Xiaoyuan..."

County Lieutenant Qin looked at Xiang Yuan with resentment and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a backer?" He will drink three cups of wine as punishment and will definitely pay attention in the future.

Little detective, don’t force me to kneel down and beg you!
Sensing the look in County Lieutenant Qin's eyes, Xiang Yuan could only accept Xiao He's help no matter how reluctant he was, and said slowly: "Master Xiao, Lao Liu and I worked hard on the case and made great contributions, County Lieutenant Qin specially came to reward us."

"That's right, that's right." County Lieutenant Qin nodded repeatedly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and forced a tearful smile.

Old Liu was a lowly person with little influence and had no right to speak, so he nodded to confirm that it was County Magistrate Qin who was treating them today.

"I told you, Brother Xiaoyuan has such a good temper, it's impossible for him to offend anyone..." Xiao He stepped forward, hooked Xiangyuan's arm, and said loudly, "Why call me Master Xiao? We hit it off right away, and we have similar interests, like brothers who have been separated for many years. How about we become sworn brothers tonight?"

That's called like-mindedness. If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them.

Also, who shares the same interests as you!
Xiao He continued to babble non-stop: "My father is still short of a few adopted sons, and there is a vacancy for my adopted brother. You seem to be a good fit. I will write a letter to him. He is very annoyed with me, and he will definitely agree on the spot for peace and quiet. Then we will really become brothers."

The words were too loud for Xiang Yuan to respond, so he responded with silence.

Xiao He tried his best to please someone, but was rejected by someone else. The county lieutenant Qin came forward, invited Xiao He to sit in the main seat, called for a waiter, and drew a lot of blood.

Before sitting down, Lao Liu tugged at Xiang Yuan's sleeve and said, "You're very rich, so grasp it well and don't be like him, who is insignificant."

At this time, Old Liu had already made up his mind. No matter how many sons King Zhao had, it could not change the fact that Xiao He was his own flesh and blood. Xiang Yuan would surely be successful in the future if he could hold on to this thigh. He did not need to pay back the five taels of silver. He only needed to do Xiang Yuan a favor and repay him when he became a big man.

No, it’s not a big deal, it’s just five taels. Grit your teeth and just consider it a loss in the bet.

It is indeed a rich and noble event, but...

Xiang Yuan glanced at Xiao He and County Lieutenant Qin who were toasting each other, and thought to himself that their wealth and fame came in an odd way, as if it was a party.

What if Xiao He and County Lieutenant Qin had known each other for a long time, and seeing that Qin was extraordinary and having failed to return the umbrella, he made a special trip to block him at the gate of the yamen, and when he left the house, he called two servants... and so on and so forth, and so and so forth, and so and so forth, and so on ...

Thinking of this, Xiang Yuan made himself laugh.

Yes, he studied under a famous teacher and learned some magical skills, but does anyone know?
How could Xiao He, who is so unlearned and unskilled that he can't even use idioms properly, calculate?
Stop talking nonsense. The heartless Taoist has clean hands and feet and can wipe the shit off his butt cleanly. Xiao He doesn't have such ability, let alone such calculations.

Xiang Yuan laughed at himself for being too fanciful. He was arrogant just after learning some skills. Everyone had to follow him, surround him, and please him. The matter was actually very simple. Xiao He was just a funny guy with strange thoughts. Everything today was just a coincidence. It just happened.

If I have to say, the umbrella formed their fate. He holding the umbrella for Xiao He was the cause, and Xiao He helping him solve the problem was the result.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yuan's thoughts suddenly became clear. Xiao He was indeed a destined person in the transition period. Umbrella acted as a matchmaker and introduced King Zhao Xiao Yan through Xiao He.

This is what the heartless Taoist said would be his future situation.

Master, I have understood. I will go through thousands of troops and find a way to recognize my adoptive father!

You know what, there really is a path in the field.

"Hey hey hey..."

After three rounds of drinks, Xiao He clamored to find girls. County Lieutenant Qin hurriedly threw out some silver and called over a few girls who played musical instruments and sang.

Seriously.

He was a minor official of the ninth rank, and he would not dare to take the son of the Grand Chancellor to a brothel even if he had ten guts. If the news got out, not only the Zhendian Prefecture, but also Sima Changhui, who represented the interests of the aristocratic families, would not let him off easily.

Xiang Yuan didn't drink. Considering his age, it wouldn't be out of place for him to sit at the table with the children. He just kept his head down and ate the whole time. No matter what Xiao He and County Wei Qin said, he just kept saying "yes, yes, yes, yes".

"Xiao Qin, since I came to Fengxian County, Dezhou, I have been studying hard every day. I don't even have a playmate in my spare time. I am so miserable."

"What does Mr. Xiao mean?"

County Lieutenant Qin's eyes lit up, and he flattered him, "You are of noble status, and the government should send someone to protect you. Although the older ones know the rules, they are rigid and don't know how to change, which is bound to make you dislike them."

"reasonable."

"It's good for your subordinate to look at the little brother. He is smart, eloquent, skilled in martial arts, and upright. With his protection, he can also accompany you to relieve your boredom in your spare time."

"Brother Xiaoyuan is a constable, he has official duties, it's not appropriate...right?"

"It's perfect. It's perfect. I'll go back and send a notice to have him assigned to protect your safety."

A few words and misuse of public resources for personal gain.
