Ascension starts from family cultivation

Lin Qingbai and Chen Jinmeng knelt on the ground, silent.

And the patriarchs of the Lin and Chen families, Lin Yuankui and Chen Lezhi, had no choice but to accept it sadly.

County magistrate Song Zhiyi only punished Lin Qingbai and Chen Jinmeng according to the laws of the Yu Dynasty. As for the fines imposed on Lin and Chen, Lin Yuankui and Chen Lezhi were also acceptable.

County magistrate Song Zhi saw the complaint and asked: "Master Hu, have you taken stock of the unjust enrichment between Lin Qingbai and Chen Jinmeng? How much fine should the Lin and Chen families bear?"

Hearing this, Master Hu took out a piece of paper from his pocket and read: "Lin Qingbai and Chen Jinmeng sold a total of 46 low-quality spirit beasts in two days, and the unjust profit was 14. Lingshi, and according to the laws of the Yu Dynasty, Lin Chen’s family should bear a fine three times the unjust enrichment, which is [-] Lingshi.”

Hearing this, Meng Haoran and Meng Luohai, who were originally staying aside, glanced at each other quietly.

"A total of 14 spirit stones!"

Meng Haoran was startled and said: "Compared to our Meng family's Lingshi land, these spirit stones are nearly a year's income! Now, the Lin and Chen families have lost their money!"

Lin Yuankui said in a low voice: "Magistrate Song, this fine is too harsh!"

Chen Lezhi also echoed: "Yes, County Magistrate Song, this fine is equivalent to a year's income of our two Lingzhi lands!"

"Hehe! That's too much? Why didn't you think too much when you were selling low-quality spirit beasts?"

The county magistrate Song Zhiyi said loudly: "The fine is only the minimum penalty for your two families. Now I solemnly tell you that within the next year, your Lin and Chen families will not be allowed to engage in related trafficking within the boundaries of Qingyang County." Business activities in terms of spirit beasts!"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Haoran and Meng Luohai's uncle and nephew were overjoyed.

Previously, Lin Qingbai and Chen Jinmeng sold this kind of spirit beast. A spirit beast cost about 4 to [-] spirit stones. In just two days, the two of them earned a total of more than [-] spirit stones. Stones are far faster than planting spiritual plants and selling the first-level spiritual plant "Three Grain Wheat" to get money!

It can be seen from this that the county magistrate Song Zhiyi made such a punishment against the Lin and Chen families, what a severe punishment it is!

Lin Yuankui and Chen Lezhi hurried out, knelt down to County Magistrate Song Zhiyi and said, "County Song, please take back this order, the Lin and Chen families cannot accept this kind of punishment!"

Originally, the Lin family had already withdrawn from the talisman market in Qingyang County because of the "Five Elements Defense Talisman" and "Spiritual Protection Talisman". Now, if the Lin family abides by the county magistrate Song Zhiyi's judgment, they will no longer engage in such activities in the next year. The commercial activities related to selling spirit beasts can be described as a fatal blow to the Lin family!

To make matters worse!

pour oil on the flame!

Now, the Lin family is facing such a dilemma.

"Bold! Is the place where the two of you intercede above the county government?"

Master Hu said angrily: "The county magistrate handles the case impartially, punishing you according to the laws of the Yu Dynasty is an extrajudicial favor. If you continue to make unreasonable troubles in the county government, don't blame the county magistrate for disregarding the past feelings!"

Hearing this roar, Lin Yuankui and Chen Lezhi bowed their heads and glanced at each other.

At this time, Master Hu hurriedly stepped forward, helped them both up, and said: "Old Lin, Old Chen, and County Magistrate Song act in accordance with the laws of the Yu Dynasty. You two, don't embarrass him, let alone hurt him." The harmony between each other, as the saying goes, stays in the green hills without worrying about no firewood, and one year has passed in the blink of an eye!"

Master Hu's red and black faces sang in harmony, Lin Yuankui and Chen Lezhi had no choice but to follow suit.

Seeing this, County Magistrate Song Zhiyi waved his hand and said, "Lin Yuankui, Chen Lezhi, you two quickly take them home, teach them well, and then quickly pay the fine to the county government treasury."

Hearing this, Lin Yuankui and Chen Lezhi had no choice but to take Lin Qingbai and Chen Jinmeng away from the county government.

After the members of the Lin and Chen families left, only the magistrate Song Zhiyi, Master Hu, Meng Luohai and Meng Haoran were left in the audience.

"Brother Luo Hai, what should I call this junior?" Song Zhiyi, the county magistrate, looked towards the audience and asked.

Meng Luohai clasped his fists and replied: "Meng Haoran is the head of the younger generation of my Meng family!"

"Hehe, the leader of the younger generation!"

The county magistrate Song Zhiyi smiled and said, "This title is definitely not low!"

Meng Haoran cupped his hands and replied: "It's all thanks to the help of the elders in the clan."

County magistrate Song Zhiyi put away his smile, and then asked: "Just now that guy Lin Qingbai chased you down in Xifang City in public, what do you think?"

Meng Haoran replied: "Run! I will tell the elders about the news of the Lin family's trafficking later!"

County magistrate Song Zhiyi asked again: "What if you didn't run away?"

Meng Haoran said sternly: "That's okay! There is also a junior named Meng Xiaoran in my Meng family who knows about this."

"Hahaha! Good boy! You still have a hand!"

County magistrate Song Zhiyi smiled and said, "You are courageous and resourceful, you are worthy of being the head of the younger generation of the Meng family that Brother Luo Hai said!"

Meng Haoran laughed a few times, but did not answer.

County magistrate Song Zhiyi looked at Meng Haoran and asked, "Previously, I only investigated the Lin and Chen families for selling inferior spirit beasts, and fined them, but did not investigate Lin Qingbai's murder in public in Xifang City. You can blame me for this matter?"

Meng Haoran clasped his fists and replied: "The younger generation dare not, the county magistrate is the parent official of Qingyang County, every word and deed is justified."

The county magistrate Song Zhiyi smiled and said: "Hehe, you are a big kid, but you are a good flatterer!"

After finishing speaking, County Magistrate Song Zhiyi looked at Meng Luohai again, and asked, "Brother Luo Hai, do you know how long it has been since I took up the post of Qingyang County Magistrate?"

Meng Luohai replied: "If I remember correctly, it should have been seven years."

"Time flies, as if in the blink of an eye, seven years have passed."

Song Zhiyi, the county magistrate, said with some emotion: "There are still two years left, and I will be transferred from Qingyang County to work elsewhere."

Meng Luohai clasped his hands and said, "Caomin is here, congratulations to Magistrate Song in advance!"

County Magistrate Song Zhiyi shook his head and said, "Leaving Qingyang County, the future of this official is still somewhat unknown. Will he be relocated or promoted?"

Hearing this, Meng Luohai knew that Song Zhiyi, the county magistrate, meant something.

Seeing that Meng Luohai was silent, Song Zhiyi, the county magistrate, went on to say: "I have been in charge of either parent in Qingyang County for seven years. There is no great good in hand, so if I want to be promoted after two years, it is already a daydream, and in the end, the best result for me is to move to another place and be the county magistrate for another nine years!"

Meng Luohai seemed to have a premonition, and asked in a low voice: "There are some things, please make it clear to the county magistrate!"

The county magistrate Song Zhiyi said in a deep voice: "In the past seven years, the seven nine-rank cultivator families in the county have always been obedient to me, so I want to add another nine-rank cultivator family in Qingyang County. I don't know what you think?"
