The current head of the Qi family is named Qi Deyou. He is 63 years old this year and has been the head of the family for 20 years. What did Qi Wang want to do when he arrived, but he didn't stop Qi Wang from the door, but let him in.
Although what Qi Huang did yesterday was somewhat beyond their expectations, first he told everyone what Qi Jinmo had done mercilessly in front of everyone, and then asked the clan to hand over what they got, but strictly speaking There was nothing wrong with what he did, although Qi Deyou was unhappy, but he didn't embarrass Qi Huang in person, and of course he wouldn't be too polite to him.
After welcoming him into the door, the two sat down at the table, and Qi Huan went straight to the point, directly explaining his reason for coming.
"Patriarch, I have a total of more than 70 mu of fertile land under my name. I will round it up to 70 mu. I plan to sell these fertile land to the clan at half the market price. I wonder what you want?"
After hearing Qi Wang's words, Qi Deyou touched his bearded hand and paused, but he didn't agree, but asked another question: "Qi Wang, why did you think of selling these fertile fields? "
These peasants value the land the most, and the land is the capital for them to live and live. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will never sell the land. Otherwise, if a person wants to sell the land, it will be spread Talk about success or failure.
Why did Qi Wang think of selling the land? Does he not want to live a good life
Although the seventy acres of half-price fertile land moved Qi Deyou very much, but as the head of the clan, he still had to ask Qi Wang for such a prodigal act. After all, he was also a member of the Qi clan. If his reputation If it is broken, it will affect the reputation of the entire clan.
After hearing Qi Deyou's question, Qi thought for a while, and slowly said: "I don't want to stay in Taohua Village anymore."
Qi Deyou was taken aback for a moment, but before he could say anything, he heard Qi Wang continue.
"For that child Qi Jinmo, I paid too much, but ended up being buried alive by him in the end. Taohua Village is a sad place for me, and I want to leave here."
After a pause, Qi Wang continued to speak, but his voice was much lower than before.
"And I also want to go to the Eastern Continent, find Qi Jinmo, and ask him why he treats me like this. If I don't know the reason, I won't be reconciled even if I die."
"You're going to the Eastern Continent? You're just a mortal. The Wuwanghai is full of crises. How can ordinary people get through it? You should live at home honestly. You are already 48 years old. How many years do you have left? Good job? Why do these things?"
From Qi Deyou's point of view, what Qi Wangwan wanted to do was completely out of the question, he was a person who was about to step into the coffin with half a foot, how could he have the capital to fiddle around
Qi Deyou earnestly tried to persuade Qi Wang, hoping that he would give up this idea, but Qi Huan's mind has been made up, how could Qi Deyou persuade him
"I've been through the grave already, and I have nothing to fear."
"I just want the truth. If I do it, I still have a glimmer of hope. If I don't do it, there is really no hope."
"Patriarch, if you don't want these fertile fields, I can sell them to others, and I will not stay in this Peach Blossom Village any longer."
Qi Wang had already said so much, seeing that he was so determined, Qi Deyou stopped persuading him.
Everyone has their own ambitions, maybe because Qi Wang has died once, that's why he is like this.
One mu of fertile land is converted into silver, that is two taels of silver, seventy mu is one hundred and forty taels, and Qi Wang only intends to sell at half price, so it only needs seventy taels of silver.
Qi Deyou's family background is good, but the seventy taels of silver cannot be scraped together in a short while.
"Give me a few days, and I'll send it to you when I collect all the money, okay?"
Qi Huang nodded and agreed, it just so happened that he also had something to do these few days, so it wasn't a waste of time.
After leaving Qi Deyou's house, Qi Huan went home and woke up Qi Fuyuan, saying that he would go to the county to file a complaint today.
Qi Fuyuan saw that Qi Wang was determined, so he didn't persuade him anything. He went home and hitched an ox cart, and took Qi Wang to the county seat.
It is the season of warm spring and flowers blooming. Both sides of the road are covered with flowers of various colors. The breeze blows by, bringing bursts of fragrance. Looking far away, there are rolling green mountains in the distance. Just looking at the peaks of various shapes, His chest seemed to open up.
Qi Wang's mood was very good, and all the gloom in his heart disappeared.
The scenery in the world is so beautiful, why worry about those one or two villains
An hour later, the two arrived outside the Wan'an County Government Office.
"Ah Wan, are you really going to sue? Otherwise, if we think about it, we don't have to kill them all..."
Qi Fuyuan didn't say anything when he came all the way, but now that he really got to the ground, Qi Fuyuan regretted it a little.
He has been honest and responsible all his life, and he doesn't even know which side of the yamen's door to open. Before that, he thought of coming with Qi Wang on impulse, but now he saw the pair of stone lions at the yamen's gate. regret.
Seeing that he was afraid, Qi Wang didn't force Qi Fuyuan in front of him to go in with him, it was his business to control him, so there was no need for Qi Fuyuan to go with him.
"Cousin, if you are afraid, go and sit with the two nephews for a while, and I will go to you when I finish my business."
Seeing that Qi Wang was determined to sue Qi Jinmo, Qi Fuyuan began to struggle in his heart, and after a while, he finally made up his mind.
"Forget it, I'd better go with you, so that I can give you evidence, and if anything happens, I can help you."
My own cousin is pitiful enough, as an older brother, he has to help Qi Huang no matter what.
Seeing that Qi Fuyuan had decided to go with him, Qi Huang couldn't persuade him, so he took him in together.
In these years, family ugliness is not allowed to be publicized. Any matter is usually resolved at home or within the clan, and basically it will not be brought to a place like the county government.
The county magistrate of Wan'an County has been an official here for ten years, and he has never encountered anything such as Lao Tzu suing his son.
After all, parents love their children. Even if the child does something wrong, they will tolerate it. Once the child is sued in the county government, the child's life will be completely ruined. When I sue Juren's son, let alone It is in the entire Wan'an County, even in the entire Yuandong Country, there is no precedent.
After receiving the pleadings, the county magistrate opened the court to ask questions.
Qi Wang and Qi Fuyuan knelt down in the hall, and it was Qi Wang who spoke, telling the truth about the evil things Qi Jinmo had done.
However, this case is of great importance, and it cannot be closed with Qi Huang's one-sided words. Qi Jinmo is a famous person with a reputation, and the case involving him must be handled carefully.
But this county magistrate is a rare and honest official, and the evidence of this matter is solid, Qi Wang is not afraid that his goal will not be achieved.
Everything was just as Qi Wang had expected. After the county magistrate sent people to investigate and collect evidence, the case was quickly closed.
Qi Jinmo's reputation was gone, and the news that he did not hesitate to bury his biological father alive in order to cultivate immortality spread throughout Wan'an County.
Qi Jinmo became famous at a young age. After so many years of business, besides, he is well-known in Wan'an County. Qi Juren, who was originally praised by everyone, actually did the thing of burying his biological father alive. How can this make people uncomfortable? Shock
This news spread throughout Wan'an County at an extremely fast speed, and more and more people knew what Qi Jinmo had done. Almost everyone who knew about it was talking about it. Streets, teahouses, etc. In the tavern, almost everyone from the rich family to the common people was talking about Qi Jinmo.
Most people think that Qi Jinmo is too ruthless and unworthy of being a human being. Even if he wants to embark on a journey to immortality, he shouldn't do such things that violate ethics.
However, some people felt that Qi Jinmo's choice was not wrong.
A mortal's life is only a few decades in a hurry. If you can embark on the road of cultivating immortals, you will sacrifice everything. Human nature is selfish, and it is understandable to do such things for yourself to live a better life.
Of course, these people also know that their thoughts are a bit dark, so they only think about it in private, but they don't say it publicly.
However, the aftermath of this incident is that many good-natured people came to Taohua Village to see Qi Wang, who was buried alive by his son and rescued by an immortal.
For these people who came to the door, Qi Wang will warmly entertain them, satisfy all their curiosity, and carefully tell those people the ins and outs of the matter.
Only half a month later, the number of people coming gradually decreased, and Qi Deyou finally collected enough money to buy the fertile land in Qi Wang's hands.
After signing the contract and giving the land to Qi Deyou, the affairs of Taohua Village were basically settled. Qi Wang didn't stay here any longer, and quietly left Taohua Village one night.
The first person who found out that Qi Wang was missing was Qi Fuyuan, and Qi Wang gave Qi Fuyuan the key to his home. He was worried because he had not seen Qi Wang for a few days, and when he went to Qi Wang's house, he found that the family was empty.
Qi Huang left a letter to Qi Fuyuan, telling him that he chose to leave Taohua Village, a sad place, and would not come back in the future. He left these few houses in his family to Qi Fuyuan, as a thank you for the years he has given him. care.
Qi Fuyuan asked the teacher in the village to read the letter, and when the teacher finished reading, Qi Fuyuan was already in tears.
Originally, he thought that Qi Wang had already let go of this matter, but he didn't expect his younger brother to be so thoughtful, and when everything was settled, he left without any nostalgia.
Qi Fuyuan didn't know where Qi Wang went, he could only wish Qi Wang silently, hoping that his life outside would be smooth sailing without any setbacks.

Leizhou City is one of the largest cities in the south. It has pleasant scenery and rich real estate, and because it is located on an important traffic road, the roads extend in all directions, and there are many merchants traveling from south to north, which also makes Leizhou City more prosperous and rich.
More than a month ago, a storyteller came to the largest Yanhui Restaurant in Leizhou City. He heard that the storyteller had a brilliant literary talent, and the stories he told were very novel. No one had ever heard the stories he told. It didn't last long in the city, but it soon attracted a large number of loyal listeners. Every day, countless people rushed to Yanhui Restaurant to listen to his stories.
Seeing that it was time for the storyteller to appear on stage again, countless people rushed to the place where Yanhui Restaurant was located.
A few scholars who had just entered Leizhou City were sitting in a teahouse drinking tea. Seeing people hurrying on the street, most of them were going in one direction, they asked the waiter what they were doing.
The shop waiter glanced outside, and replied with a smile: "Guest officers, they are going to Yanhui Restaurant to listen to people's stories."
The older scholar was a little curious, so he asked, "It's just listening to people's stories. Why are you acting like this? The stories told by those storytellers are similar, and there's nothing new about it. Why is that so?"
The eager looks on the faces of the people outside didn't look like they were going to listen to someone's story, but rather like they were going to participate in some activity of throwing a hydrangea to choose a husband.
At this time, the business of the teahouse was not busy, so the Xiao Er patiently explained to these scholars.
"I don't know, Mr. Taohua is different from ordinary storytellers. He tells a story for three days, and every story is a new story that has never been heard before. He has been here in Leizhou City for a month. Mr. Peach Blossom has already told ten stories, all of which are exquisite, with ups and downs in the plot, and none of them are similar."
Speaking of this, the guy paused, and then said: "A few days ago, Mr. Peach Blossom said that today he would tell a story about seeking immortals and asking questions. It is guaranteed to be weird and weird. It is a story that the world has never heard before. , That’s why there are so many people rushing.”
Judging from the guy's tone, it seemed that he admired the so-called Mr. Peach Blossom very much. Several scholars present looked at each other and felt that this guy might be exaggerating a bit.
It's nothing more than a storyteller, just a person who shows off his mouth and makes up some weird and absurd stories to attract people's eyes and ears. How can he be so respected
The five of them soon became concerned and planned to go to Na Yanhui Restaurant to have a look, to see what is so special about this storyteller that can attract so many people's attention.
After they settled the bill, they asked the buddy where Na Yanhui Restaurant was, and they went together together.
On the way back to Yan's restaurant, these scholars saw a lot of people walking in a hurry. Compared with these people, it seemed that they were similar to those who were walking in the courtyard.
Maybe it was because of the influence of the surrounding environment, or because of the strange eyes of passers-by when they looked at them, these scholars couldn't help but quicken their pace, and followed everyone back to the restaurant towards Yan.
It was also because of their luck that they went earlier, and entered the restaurant before the restaurant staff closed the door and blocked people.
"Brother, you are accommodating, let us go in."
"Yeah brother, we are from the county seat, it's not easy to go back and forth, let us go in..."
The people who were blocked outside were just one step away from entering the restaurant, but in the end they were blocked outside. How could they be reconciled and begged the few guys outside.
However, those few strong fellows were as hard-hearted as iron, no matter how the outsiders begged, they refused to change their minds.
"You are late today, if you really want to listen to Mr. Taohua's storytelling, please come early tomorrow."
Those who were blocked outside complained, but there was nothing they could do. The rules were like this, so what could they do
But obviously they couldn't get in, but those people didn't intend to leave, they just waited outside eagerly, looking like they were waiting for the people inside to come out and tell them.
There were a lot of people waiting outside, people from all walks of life, just judging by the number of people, it would definitely not be the entrustment—no storyteller would ask for so many entrustments.
But here comes the question again, it’s just the storyteller telling stories, why is he so obsessed
Several scholars looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that the performance of these people was too exaggerated.
But now that the few of them have come in, they will soon know how attractive the storyteller is.
