How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 196

[196.Chapter 196 Story of Stone]

“Good morning, Mr. Lu.”

Upon hearing the voice, Lady Ji turned around and bowed, her little face turned red and her eyes filled with a gentle smile.

“Well, I’m still a little hungry, so I came here to find something to eat.”

Lu Gan nodded and smiled slightly.

“It will be fine soon.” Lady Ji smiled softly, walked over and touched her little daughter Yaoyao’s head: “Good boy, go practice calligraphy.”

“Yeah!”

Yaoyao nodded heavily, turned around and jumped. Jump and leave the kitchen like a little bunny.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Ji blushed slightly and said, “Master Lu, I have an unwelcome request from my family. I wonder if I should say it or not?”

“Tell me.” Lu Gan glanced at the porridge cooking in the pot and nodded secretly. It’s his favorite fish porridge.

“My family wants to learn martial arts.” Lady Ji said weakly.

“Okay, just like Ruoshui, you can find a female martial artist to practice.”

Lu Gan nodded readily and agreed.

“Thank you so much, sir!”

Madam Ji suddenly showed a look of joy, bowed deeply, and said: “It’s just that the slaves are stupid and will definitely encounter difficulties when practicing martial arts. If it happens that Mr. Lu is free, I will ask him Mr. Lu, please give me some advice. “

“No problem, but I usually don’t have time during the day. Can I do it at night?”

Lu Qian replied casually.

When Mrs. Ji heard this, she looked grateful and thanked her quickly: “Thank you so much, sir!”

“You’re welcome, the porridge is going to stick to the pot.”

Lu Qian waved his hand slightly and pointed to the cooking fish porridge.

“Ouch!”

Lady Ji exclaimed and quickly turned around to prepare the meat porridge.

Soon, the delicious fish porridge came out of the pot, and Lu Gan took his seat and started eating directly. Soon after, a large table of breakfast food was also delivered from the kitchen.

Lu Qian was not polite at all and swept them all into his stomach.

During this period, Su Yingluo and three little guys woke up and competed with him for food. Naturally, they were no match for him.

After almost eating, Ruoshui came over.

Just in time, Lu Qian asked: “How is it? Have you finished collecting the information on the businesses in the county? When will the Qingyang County living and travel guide be compiled?”

This is related to his small treasury, so he must hurry up.

Ruoshui shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: “The county is too big and there are not enough manpower. It will take three to five days to see all the merchants and shops.”

“Three to five days?”

Lu Gan frowned: “I will send them later. I’ll give it to you, get it out as soon as possible. Also, how is the bookstore business?”

“The bookstore business is very good!”

Ruoshui suddenly smiled when he talked about this: “In accordance with Mr. Lu’s wishes, I compiled a ranking of magic skills and magic weapons. , and Jianghu Anecdotes, the reputation of the bookstore has completely exploded! Many martial arts people came here to buy those ranking books! In addition, the novels also sold well, and I recruited more than a dozen talented people! A scholar, he writes martial arts novels and ghost stories every day, and they all sell well!”

“Writing novels is a dead end these days, and there are still people writing novels?”

Lu Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.

Ruoshui smiled and said: “Without him, Ruoshui Bookstore provides the most money and has the best benefits, so naturally people come to write. In addition, there are some rich ladies who also write some poems and short stories for sale.”

“I see. ! What is the best-selling novel now?”

Lu Qian suddenly realized and asked with interest.

“It’s a novel called “The Story of the Stone”, written by a woman.”

Ruoshui thought for a moment and replied.

“The Story of the Stone? What are you talking about?”

Lu Qian was stunned for a moment.

“It’s about a woman who jumped out of a stone. She held two swords and made a big fuss in the Lingxiao Palace. She died together with the gods and Buddhas in the sky. She was later summoned and resurrected by one hundred and eight demon generals. She became the master of the demon clan and finally broke the lich, demon and demon clan. The situation in the world, the story of unifying the three realms.”

“…Is this woman called Sun Wukong?”

“No, this woman’s surname is Lu, her name is Fengxian, and her name is Sanzang.”

“What a mess, this is the best seller. ? And who is this author?”

Lu Qian asked with a frown.

Ruoshui smiled: “Men don’t like this novel, but women like it very much. Some people bought many copies. Some people also wrote fan stories and did character illustrations for free. As for the author, she was originally a crazy rich lady, but it’s a pity that , after her illness was cured, she could no longer write such a clever novel! “

“…”

Lu Qian suddenly wanted to meet this rich lady.

At this time, Ruoshui Liu frowned and said, “It’s just that there seem to be a lot of disciples of the three major sects in the bookstore recently. When they came to buy books, they saw the rankings of magical powers, and there were some disputes.”

When Lu Gan heard this, he immediately became alert: “Huh? This is the southeast of Daxuan. It is far away from the three major sects. How come there are so many disciples of the three major sects suddenly appearing?”

“They are all here to take the martial arts and civil examination exams. Yes.”

Ruoshui replied.

Lady Ji next to her added: “The Nu family has also heard that it seems that the number of martial and civil examinations in the more than ten states of the three major sects has been reduced, so they came here to take the scientific examination.”

“It turns out they are loan students!”

Lu Gan understood immediately.

The three major sects have huge influence and have many elite disciples. They all participate in the martial arts competitions in droves. Maybe all the disciples of the three major sects will take part in the palace examination.

Zhao Xuanji naturally did not want to see this situation, so he limited the number of people recruited from those dozen states.

Unexpectedly, the disciples of the three major sects did not give up and actually came to Qingzhou to participate in the martial arts examination.

In this way, wouldn’t the county examination twelve days later be even more intense?

Lu Qian tapped the table and frowned slightly.

The arrival of disciples from the three major sects is not just a matter of filling up the quota for martial arts examinations.

Various sects in the martial arts world have always acted based on the expressions of the three major sects.

In other words, when disciples from the three major sects come to Qingzhou, many martial arts people must also come with them! These guys act unscrupulously and do whatever they want, and they will definitely cause a lot of trouble!

“It seems that the patrol room needs to be started quickly!”

Lu Gan’s eyes flashed, and he stood up and said: “Ruoshui, hurry up and compile the guide. As for the matter of the sect disciples, you don’t care. If anyone dares to cause trouble in the bookstore, just send a signal. That’s it!”

“Yes!”

Ruoshui nodded and accepted the order.

Afterwards, Lu Gan left directly, summoned Sun Hei, and prepared to go to the city lord’s mansion to ask for money.

Building a patrol house is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Naturally, we have to ask the county governor’s office for money. Besides, where to build it must also be planned and approved by the small industry department of the city lord’s office.

However, before he could walk out of the Zhenfu Division, the police officers from the Xuanhuang Sect stopped him at the door, and they all wanted to resign and go back.

Lu Qian looked at Zhong Yuan and the group in front of him and said coldly, “Do you really want to leave?”

“Yes, please give me permission from the boss.”

The leader Zhong Yuan bowed his hands and bowed.

These guys have a guilty conscience!

Lu Qian sneered in his heart and glanced at everyone: “Okay! Hand over your resignation letter!”

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly handed over the bulging resignation letter in their hands.

Lu Gan collected them all and opened them. He found that there were stacks of gold tickets inside, which happened to be fifteen thousand taels of gold.

“Go away!”

Putting away the envelope, Lu Qian waved his hand and said coldly.

Everyone’s expressions froze, a little ugly, but they still left one by one.

Soon, Zuo Xi came over and said solemnly: “That Elder Lei has disappeared. There is a resignation letter for you in the room, as well as his official seal.”

“Huh? Leave with the seal?”

Lu Gan answered When I opened the envelope that was handed over, I saw some high-sounding words. There were actually four big words between the words:

I don’t want to give money!

“Congratulations, sir, for clearing out the inner ghost! From now on, the Town and Fu Division will be under your sole control!”

Sun Hei looked happy and congratulated him.

Lu Gan put away the letter with cold eyes: “No mole! Then we can send someone over! Send the order and ask Zhou Shiyi and others from Shashui County to come over!”

“Yes!”

Sun Hei accepted the order and left quickly. go.

Afterwards, Lu Gan and Zuo Xi left the Zhenfu Division, mounted their Mo Lin horses, and headed straight for the city lord’s palace as fast as lightning.

On the other side, after the Xuanhuang Sect agents who had just left parted ways, an old man with a yellow face got into a carriage.

Inside the carriage, there was a man in green sitting.

It’s just that this man in green has only one face! No facial features!

It looks extremely weird and oozing!

The two of them didn’t speak. The carriage stopped when it reached Qingyun Pier in the middle of Qingyang River.

“Lu Qiao is really dead?”

A deep and thick voice came from the belly of the faceless man in green.

“Yes! In addition, people from the Xuanhuang Sect were all driven away by Lu Gan!”

The yellow-faced old man trembled when he heard the sound, with a look of fear on his face, and bowed his hands.

“Have you found Gui Luoyan?”

the faceless man asked again.

“No…no.” The yellow-faced old man replied tremblingly.

“Is that so…”

The faceless man pondered for a moment. A bloody cicada appeared on his face and forehead, and his deep voice sounded again:

“Then you can die.”
