    The old man stood up slowly and turned his head slowly.  Chen Lu saw that his hair was already full of white hair, floating in the air. Under the sunlight, it looked like silver threads, each root transparent.  There was not a single black speck on his eyebrows or beard, and his face was all red.

    Chen Lu¡¯s first impression was that this person didn¡¯t look like a corpse chaser.  There was almost no blood on the corpse driver's face, perhaps because the old man's face turned red as he stood under the peach tree.  The old man's hands were covered with mud.  Chen Lu subconsciously looked at the ground. It turned out that he was planting vegetables.

    A surprised expression appeared on the old man's face, but it disappeared in just a moment.  The old man said: "Guan Cha has great endurance. He can still track him from such a distance. I am convinced, and I will wait for Guan Cha to tell me." He spoke in Chinese, mixed with the noise of Fan Miao.

    Chen Lu was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

    The old man added: "I'll serve tea first, and ask the officials to have some tea. Don't worry, I won't run away."

    Chen Lu had already woken up at this time. Maybe he was able to calculate and thought that he was coming to capture him.  In order to show his trust in him, Chen Lu walked into the hall boldly.

    The old man said: "Later, let Xiaomin go wash up." After speaking, he looked at Chen Lu.  Chen Lu didn't answer and looked around the room.  The old man thought Chen Lu disagreed.  With an ooh, a servant in his fifties came over, carrying a washbasin, and the old man washed it.

    The servant brings tea.  Chen Lu was surprised when he saw the cup. It was clearly Ru kiln porcelain from the Renzong period of the Song Dynasty, but this tea set was worth dozens of taels of gold.  But why did this old man start the business of driving away corpses and grow vegetables at home?  He suspected that he had been deceived.

    Chen Lu looked at the tea leaves, which stood upright in the teapot.  The old man saw him looking at the cups, picked up the two cups, exchanged them, and took a sip of tea.

    Chen Lu laughed dumbly, understanding his intention and thinking that he suspected him of poisoning.  I also took a sip. This is the authentic Qiannan Mingqian tongue, and it is new.  He exclaimed: "Good tea, I can't wait to drink it before dawn."

    It¡¯s unbelievable that you can taste this kind of tea in a place thousands of miles away from home.  The old man said: "Officials have good eyesight."

    Chen Lu said: "I haven't asked my father-in-law, my surname Gao, where is the fairyland?"

    The old man said: "Why should an official ask knowingly? If he can find this place, he must have done enough work."

    Chen Lu nodded and said, "So my father-in-law's surname is Tian?"

    "That's right. The official will sit down for a moment and let me tidy up."

    This is a person who understands. Maybe real mages have foresight, which saves a lot of nonsense.  Tian Weng walked over and said a few words to the servant, then returned to his seat. After a while, the servant carried a bundle and placed it at the door. He took out a thick hemp rope and tied up Tian Weng.

    Chen Lugang wanted to stop him, but saw tears in his eyes.  Chen Lu was confused.  The old man came over and said: "Master, do you think this is okay? I am eighty-two years old and can't afford the iron ropes and splints provided by the official. It's such a long journey and you will die halfway before reaching your hometown. I can only give  Officials are causing trouble. Please allow me to go on my way like this."

    The servant came over and kowtowed to Chen Lu, shouting that he was mute.  It is said that nine out of ten mutes are deaf, but this servant was not deaf. This means that he was mute after birth.

    At this time, Chen Lu realized that there was a misunderstanding.  I thought that Tian Weng might be a prisoner of the imperial court, and it had nothing to do with his errand.  He quickly walked over, untied Tian Weng's rope, pulled him to his seat, and said, "Old man, what are you doing? My name is Chen Lu, and my courtesy name is Zicheng. I am here to ask for something."

    The two masters and servants were startled and looked at each other. The old man asked: "Where is the official official from?"

    Chen Lu quickly explained his purpose. Tian Weng and the servant laughed. Tian Weng said: "I thought the government sent me to get me. This means that people in the world should be honest and don't take any chances."

    In fact, Chen Lu had already noticed it, and Tian Weng said it himself. Knowing that he no longer cared, he said, "Where are you from?"

    "Sizhou Tian family."

    The voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder to Chen Lu.  He looked at Tian Weng in surprise and said nothing.  This Tian Weng may really be an important criminal in the imperial court.

    The Tian family in Sizhou rebelled against the imperial court and openly defied the imperial court. Marshal Gu had just pacified it a few years ago.  The two cousins, Shannan and Shanbei, started fighting again. The court was furious. Since it was Shannan who had provoked the trouble, the imperial court issued an order to arrest Shannan's head and bring him to Beijing.

    Tian Weng looked at Chen Lu and didn't ask, so he simply told it himself.  Although Tian Weng was regarded as a Han by others here, he was called a barbarian in China.  He is a branch of the Tian family in Sizhou. For more than 600 years, he is no longer considered a noble. His family owns land and tea gardens. He grows and eats his own food, and his life is relatively prosperous.

    ? ?The lawsuit in Nannan had nothing to do with him. Who knew that he had offended the two new Han masters.  Two gentlemen falsely accused him of participating in the rebellion for the sake of his family's property.  Tian Weng got the news and ran to the Western Regions. Everyone in his family was still in Sizhou, only this old servant came with him.  The old servant goes back once a year to give some gold and silver to live on. He just came back this time.

    Chen Lu has been to southern Guizhou and northern Guizhou, and has some understanding of the situation there. Some Han officials are tyrannical there, and the people have no excuses. Once they find someone to judge, they will be accused of rebellion.  After listening to what I said, the official positions of the two gentlemen are not necessarily too high, but the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and some grievances cannot reach the heavens.

    Chen Lu asked: "Since he was wronged, why didn't he appeal to Marshal Gu? He is a good official."

    The old man sighed and said: "Mr. Chen's words are reasonable, but Hou Men is as deep as the sea. Where can we see Marshal Gu? Before I can see Marshal Gu, my life has already been ruined."

    Chen Lu nodded and said, "It's a good idea to just leave and wait for the opportunity. Then how did you become a mage?"

    Tian Weng said: "It's really an insult to our ancestors. I think the Tian family in Sizhou has been illustrious for more than six hundred years. However, my descendants are unfilial and have fled to various parts of China. They all have to make a living by themselves. Fortunately, our ancestors had the foresight to leave their families for each branch.  We have acquired the ability to survive. Our generation is a corpse chaser. It has been out of use for many years and has almost been lost. We escaped with books and magic tools. The little old man met a real corpse chaser again and worshiped him as  Master, I learned this craft.¡±

    The two of them could not help but sigh.  Tian Weng said: "For a few years, there is no place for young people to gain a foothold here, and they no longer do this business."

    Chen Lu said: "I think this industry is good. Why is my husband unemployed? Is it because he is too old?"

    Tian Weng shook his head and said: "Now there is mud and sand, fish and dragons are mixed together, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. The real ones have lost their jobs, but the fake ones have prospered."

    Chen Lu said: "I would like to hear the details."

    Tian Weng asked: "Have you ever heard of the corpse collector?" Chen Lu nodded, and Tian Weng told him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
