From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 36 Cangwu Mountain

Jiang Hao wanted to hold Liu Yaozu accountable, but it was not appropriate to take direct action.

After all, Liu Yaozu was a county lieutenant, a high-ranking official in the county government. If they wanted to deal with him, they would definitely need the consent of the county magistrate.

"I wonder if County Magistrate Lu is at his house in the city, or in Cangwu Mountain?"

Jiang Hao first went to the house where the county magistrate lived and was told that it was in Cangwu Mountain.

"If we go to Cangwu Mountain, we must prepare a gift for Lü Jinlan."

Not only Liu Yaozu has feelings for Lu Jinlan of the Lu family, but Jiang Hao does too.

He bought a beautiful golden hairpin and went to Cangwu Mountain.

A few dozen miles from Tonggu County, there is a low hill called Cangwu Mountain. The mountain is picturesque, the water is clear, the scenery is pleasant, and the air is filled with a light fragrance.

Ordinary people who spend a few days in Cangwu Mountain will feel light and relaxed. Under the Cangwu Mountain, there are unformed spiritual veins, so there is free spiritual energy here.

The Lu family set up a spirit gathering formation on the top of Cangwu Mountain to gather the surrounding spiritual energy and improve the spiritual energy quality of the unformed spiritual vein to the level of barely reaching the first-level spiritual vein, which can provide the level for Qi training monks to practice.

----

Tick-tick-tick~~
Jiang Hao rode a steed towards Cangwu Mountain. Although he had the strength of the fourth level of Qi training, using spiritual energy to travel was too extravagant, so for long distances he chose to ride a horse.

"arrive."

When he arrived at the emerald green Cangwu Mountain, he dismounted.

"You are the County Governor? You are here to see me."

Someone came forward and helped Jiang Hao lead the horse.

"Well, I'll go up first."

Jiang Hao left a word, tapped his toes, and floated a hundred meters away.

From the foot of Cangwu Mountain to the mountainside, there are many families living here and there, some of whom are members of the Lu family, and some are farmers from outside.

They planted rice and medicinal herbs in the mountains and worked for the Lu family.

Since the spiritual energy of Cangwu Mountain is concentrated in the "Lu Family Manor" on the top of the mountain, the farmlands on the mountainside and foot of the mountain can not absorb much spiritual energy. Therefore, the rice and medicinal herbs they grow only barely have "spiritual energy" and cannot reach the level of real spiritual rice and spiritual medicine.

Even so, it is a precious treasure "containing spiritual energy" for the low-level casual cultivators.

A moment later, Jiang Hao arrived at the top of Cangwu Mountain.

A light white mist enveloped a large manor covering dozens of acres. This was the core of the Lu family: Lu Family Manor.

"County Governor Jiang Hao, requesting an audience with the County Magistrate."

he shouted.

Soon the gate opened, and County Magistrate Lu Yisong appeared. His hair was covered in pale silver hair, his beard was gray, and a smile forced itself from the corners of his wrinkled eyes. "You're welcome, County Magistrate Jiang. Please come in."

This was not the first time Jiang Hao came here. He stepped into the Lu family manor.

As I walked through the gate, the spiritual energy in the air suddenly became richer, dozens of times that of the outside world.

He took a deep breath and felt refreshed. If he could practice here, his efficiency would be more than ten times that of the outside world.

Inside the manor, the ground was cultivated with medicinal herb fields, planted with magical herbs. These were real magical herbs.

He followed Lu Yisong into the reception hall.

"County Governor Jiang, please take a seat."

Lu Yisong sat down in the main seat first and motioned Jiang Hao to take a seat.

"Lord Xie Lu."

After Jiang Hao sat down, a maid came to pour tea. The maid was not a real maid, but a direct descendant of the Lu family.

The Lu family manor is a very small place with limited space and spiritual energy, so they are reluctant to keep a maid in the manor and waste the spiritual energy.

The tea used to make the tea is the spiritual tea grown on Cangwu Mountain.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Lu Yisong asked Jiang Hao why he came.

"Lord Lu, after my investigation, County Lieutenant Liu abused his power for personal gain, engaged in corruption and abused his power during the conscription process. He also tampered with household registration documents..."

Jiang Hao explained the results of his investigation in detail. Lu Yisong's expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of surprise.

"This matter could be big or small. What is County Governor Jiang going to do?"

"Lord Lu, County Lieutenant Liu is incredibly audacious. Embezzling a large amount of silver is one thing, but the real issue is that he's impacting our Yuanli County's conscription efforts. The county government has issued an order to recruit as many soldiers as possible. In my opinion, he should be sentenced to death and his property confiscated."

Jiang Hao observed Lu Yisong's expression and saw that he had no special reaction, so he guessed that he had no relationship with Liu Yaozu.

"can."

Lu Yisong nodded.

"Lord Lu, I have another idea. This time, we must strictly follow the county government's regulations and not accept exemption silver to ensure the number of soldiers."

Jiang Hao took the opportunity to suggest that this was the only way to complete the task assigned to him by the county boss.

This time, Lu Yisong did not agree directly, but fell into deep thought.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then nodded again: "Yes."

He then added, "As for the matter concerning County Lieutenant Liu, we can just punish him. This conscription in Tonggu County will result in the loss of a large number of people, so we should not implicate others."

"Yes."

Jiang Hao had no intention of holding the village chiefs accountable. Their relationship with Liu Yaozu was simply a matter of interest; if Liu Yaozu were executed, they would scatter like monkeys.

After finishing his business, Lu Yisong stood up and said, "It's not easy for me to come here, and Jinlan happens to be here too. Why don't you go talk to her? Jinlan has a good impression of you and has asked me about your situation several times."

Jiang Hao's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, Lord Lu, for your help."

Lu Yisong waved his hand: "It's OK as long as you two can see eye to eye."

In his heart, he was quite satisfied with Jiang Hao: Jiang Hao had three kinds of true spiritual roots, and at such a young age, he became an "immortal official" with his own abilities, which made him many times stronger than Liu Yaozu.

Before, when Liu Yaozu pursued Lu Jinlan, he just thought it was Liu Yaozu's wishful thinking of a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.

Given Liu Yaozu's situation, he is only worthy of marrying an ordinary member of the Lu family.

----

Jiang Hao met Lu Jinlan in the back garden of the Lu family manor and gave her the gold hairpin he had prepared.

"Ms. Lu, this is carefully selected for you."

"Just call me Jinlan, there's no need to be so formal."

Lv Jinlan took off the hairpin on her head, turned around and tilted her hair towards Jiang Hao: "Help me put it in."

"it is good."

Jiang Hao put a hairpin in her hair and noticed the two-color jade bracelet on her hand: "What a beautiful bracelet, is it new?"

"It was sent by the county lieutenant."

Lü Jinlan was worried that Jiang Hao might misunderstand her, so she explained, "He's not a very good person, but the bracelet is very beautiful. I've already rejected him. I hope he won't bother me again. I hate people who practice martial arts..."

Jiang Hao sneered in his heart. A martial artist actually wanted to pursue Lu Jinlan.

Although Lv Jinlan is just an ordinary person, her grandfather is Lv Yisong. Her father is a Qigong cultivator, and her mother is also a Qigong cultivator with spiritual roots.

Having so many Qi-cultivating cultivators among his direct elders means that even if Lu Jinlan does not have spiritual roots, the possibility of his descendants having spiritual roots is much higher than that of ordinary people.

If Jiang Hao could marry her, there was a high probability that their children would have spiritual roots.

For a family of immortal cultivators, spiritual roots and bloodlines are extremely important.

"He will definitely not be able to pester you anymore."

"how?"

"He committed a capital crime, and his head is in danger."

Lü Jinlan was stunned for a moment, without any particular emotion. "What capital crime did he commit?"

"Altering documents and embezzling money..."

Jiang Hao talked about what Liu Yaozu had done as if he was chatting casually.
