Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1591 Linjiangxian 12

Jiang Xinxin had a feeling that "it's finally here", and Bai Jiusi had the same feeling, so he became more and more worried about Hua Ruyue's condition.

Jiang Xinxin could only reluctantly comfort Bai Jiusi, saying, "Since some things are beginning to happen, you should cheer up and prepare to face the difficulties head-on."

"But I suggest you never hide anything from Ah Yue from now on, no matter if it's good or bad. Don't let your words bring harm to Ah Yue."

Bai Jiusi agreed, but he also knew that life was unpredictable, so he solemnly asked Jiang Xinxin, "Ayue and I are in the midst of a disaster, and we may not be able to see the situation clearly. Yuan Xin, as a mutual friend of Ayue and me, you are a bystander and can see things more clearly. Please give us more advice."

Jiang Xinxin wasn't so optimistic either, so she simply shared her findings: "Don't you think Meng Chi's grandson, Meng Changqin, looks almost identical to Meng Chi and his father when they were young?"

Bai Jiusi didn't originally think there was anything wrong with this family having grown up too much when they were young, but he knew Jiang Xinxin never spoke nonsense, and his heart was suddenly in suspense. "So, Yuan Xin, what you're saying is that because Ah Yue interfered with Meng Chi's life and now saved Meng Changqin, our fate may have started when Meng Chi was young?"

Jiang Xinxin nodded. "Perhaps the past few generations of the Meng Chi family were just a trigger. Perhaps Meng Changqin has already inevitably been involved in your misfortune. In short, regarding Meng Changqin's affairs, I suggest that you and your wife be more cautious."

Bai Jiusi thought a lot in a short period of time, and finally he could only sigh, "Magic spells are useful, especially Ah Yue and I have long been accustomed to the existence of magic. It's fine if we keep the magic sealed and don't use it, but once we start, it won't be so easy to stop later."

Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but look at Bai Jiusi with a new respect. "What I used to dislike most about you was that you used the excuse of doing it for Ah Yue's own good to directly cut off her possibility of making her own choice. You forgot that you were one of the first creatures under the primordial era."

Bai Jiusi's expression froze for a moment, but he immediately covered it up and talked about Hua Ruyue. "I thought it would be better to seal Ah Yue's cultivation first. After all, her ordinary martial arts skills are barely enough in the mortal world. Anything beyond this range can be easily removed. In this way, maybe this calamity can be overcome."

Jiang Xinxin remained noncommittal. "Then you need to explain to Ah Yue the reasons and consequences of your decision. I also suggest that you seal your cultivation. Otherwise, Ah Yue might not agree so easily."

Bai Jiusi really thought about it seriously. Seeing that she had nothing to do here, Jiang Xinxin turned around and went out to see Meng Changqin. She had only taken a quick glance at him before and thought that this guy looked like Meng Chi when he was young, and compared with his great-grandfather who was a good painter, he just had less beard.

Meng Changqin also woke up quickly, but he didn't recognize Jiang Xinxin, and now he still didn't recognize Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi. He only knew that he was rescued from the execution ground by extraordinary means.

Meng Changqin was a man of good manners. As soon as Jiang Xinxin showed up, he jumped out of bed and knelt down. "Thank you so much for saving me, benefactor. I will repay you with my life!"

Jiang Xinxin misstepped and dodged, "You misunderstood. I wasn't the one who saved you. I just gave you a place to stay."

Meng Changqin kowtowed again sensibly: "Thank you for taking me in, young lady."

Jiang Xinxin nodded, and Meng Changqin stood up quickly, very perceptive. Jiang Xinxin said, "I am the owner of this place, named Yuanxin. You can just call me Lay Buddhist. Please tell me in detail why you were wronged here."

Of course, Meng Changqin had heard of the name and deeds of Mr. Yuan Xin. To be honest, his mother's physiognomy was not good when she was pregnant with him. Thanks to the many skills and techniques passed down by Jiang Xinxin in Songhe County, he, a child who was born prematurely and had a difficult birth, was born safely, grew up smoothly, and even survived the nine-day Jinshi examination.

So Meng Changqin knelt down and kowtowed again, and Jiang Xinxin was speechless.

Knowing Jiang Xinxin was getting impatient, Meng Changqin quickly explained the reason why he had been framed. "The northwest is suffering from a severe drought, and the people are displaced. The various tribes on the grasslands are also eyeing us covetously. This is the time when the court needs to provide timely disaster relief and preventative measures."

"But there are always some officials who, for the sake of their own future and reputation, are unwilling to report to the court. So I became the troublemaker who had to be eliminated."

It is not uncommon for floods or droughts to occur in certain places. After hearing what Meng Changqin said, Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but look up at the sky. Now she can see a lot of things based on astronomical phenomena, but she didn't realize that the large-scale drought in the northwest could be the so-called will of heaven.

Jiang Xinxin was afraid that she had seen it wrong through the window in the house, so she stood up and walked out to take another careful look. The result was the same as her previous intuition. It was indeed not God's will, but a man-made disaster.

Man-made disasters can cause severe droughts in several states, and there is a lot of trickery involved. Jiang Xinxin is not sure whether this will be related to the disaster between Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi. After all, she is already too deeply involved with the couple, and it is definitely too late to extricate herself now.

But if you act rashly, you might end up causing trouble for others.

So Jiang Xinxin decided to just take care of the affairs of ordinary people and not worry about whether it was God's will or not.

Jiang Xinxin turned to Meng Changqin and said, "You're right. The news of the widespread drought in several northwestern states must be reported to the central government. Whether or not disaster relief is provided is none of my business, but those tribes on the grasslands are most likely to take advantage of the situation and march south to plunder. If we're not careful, the entire world might be implicated."

"And you, after all, are a county magistrate who passed the imperial examination and was appointed as an official in a remote area. Let's not even mention your fellow townsmen, classmates, and year-mates, and your teacher. Even though your position as county magistrate is relatively low, to sentence you to death, you need to be reviewed and approved by the Three Judicial Departments, and both the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Personnel must keep records. You can't even be sent away in the golden autumn, and you have to wait until next year."

Meng Changqin understood what Jiang Xinxin meant, and realized that he was probably no longer in the northwest, having completely escaped the encirclement. So he made a decision immediately: "I am willing to contact my fellow townsmen, classmates, and peers, and I am also willing to write a letter to the master. However, I still need your help in delivering the letter."

Seeing that Meng Changqin understood, Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but smile, but then she sighed, "I can only help you deliver the letter..."

But Meng Changqin suddenly asked, "Layman, you have all the magic skills you need. Even if you don't have the power to turn rivers and seas upside down, don't you have the ability to summon rain and send wind?"

"Why can't you use magic to relieve the severe drought in the three northwestern states?"

"If you cultivate immortality to relieve the sufferings of the mortal world, what else can you do?"
