3062【Settling accounts after the fall】

Bai Jiaxuan held a grand funeral for Bai Bingde.

Xiang Nan went to the coffin in person and recited the "Tai Shang Sutra" for Bai Bingde.

"Uncle Jiaxuan, don't worry. With the protection of this scripture of mine, the old man will definitely not be punished and be reborn into a good family." He then said to Bai Jiaxuan.

Bai Jiaxuan nodded.

Although he didn't know whether what Xiang Nan said was true or false, it was good to have such a thought.

After other villagers in Bailu Village heard about this incident, they all envied Bai Bingde for having such a good fortune that the little god could come in person and read a scripture for his salvation.

Then Bai Zhao went to the ancestor's temple in person, burned paper money and offered incense to ancestor Honghu, and also donated three stones to Xiang Nan to provide food.



About half a month later, someone from the county posted a notice that the original magistrate Shi had been dismissed, and now there was another magistrate named He.

At the same time, the villagers of Bailu Village also began to make plans to elect a new clan leader.

The old patriarch Bai Bingde is dead, so the village should elect a person in charge. Otherwise, the village's big and small affairs will be endless, and there will be chaos without a person in charge.

So the villagers gathered in the ancestral hall to elect a clan leader.

Because Xiang Nan is a little immortal, although he was too young to enter the ancestral hall, he has now received an invitation and can go in to discuss matters.

But Xiang Nan declined the matter.

"I am a Taoist and don't care about worldly things." He said to the visitors.

He knew that the position of the clan leader was not easy to determine. Ordinary people could forget about it. No one would be offended if they chose or not chosen. But the key was that he was a little god, and his every move attracted special attention.

If he favors one side, the other side will definitely be dissatisfied, so he would rather not take a stand.

Just like Mr. Leng and Mr. Zhu, although they are also from Bailuyuan, they have never taken a position on the election of the clan leader. They have always stayed out of the matter, just to avoid this trouble.

When the visitor saw him saying this, he had no choice but to nod.



Sure enough, before the new clan leader was elected, people from the county came again and took Bai Jiaxuan into the county seat.

Because he was the leader of the Jiaonong uprising, now that the new county magistrate is looking for someone to blame, he will naturally be blamed.

As soon as Bai Jiaxuan was taken away, the Bai family was immediately in chaos. The people in Bailuyuan were also frightened, at a loss, and panicked.

"Hei Wa, your Jiaxuan uncle has been captured. What should you do now? You have to rescue him." Lu San said to Xiang Nan.

After he heard the news, he was so anxious that he wanted to rush into the county town and rescue Bai Jiaxuan. But he knew his own ability. If he could not save Bai Jiaxuan, he would get himself involved instead, so he asked his son for help.

Because his son had promised that if something happened to Bai Jiaxuan, he would come to rescue him.

"Don't worry, Da, Uncle Jiaxuan will be fine." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "I told his fortune, he will come back safely."

Lu San nodded after hearing what he said.



Just when Lu San was anxious to save Bai Jiaxuan, Mr. Leng also took the lead, hoping to save Bai Jiaxuan together.

After all, the reason why Bai Jiaxuan led the Jiaonong uprising in the first place was to help the people get justice. Now that he has been arrested, the whole village, young and old, naturally cannot stand idly by.

Therefore, he persuaded Lu Zilin to come forward and lead everyone to save Bai Jiaxuan, "Brother Zilin, this matter is done well, and it is very popular. When the time comes, I will guarantee you to be the patriarch of Bailu Village."

After Lu Zilin discussed it with his father, Lu Taiheng, he felt that Mr. Leng's proposal was very good.

They should take the lead in rescuing Bai Jiaxuan, or at least adopt that attitude.

When the time comes, no matter whether they are rescued or not, they have done their best and the villagers will not say anything.

In this way, when they become clan leaders in the future, the people will be more convinced.

Otherwise, when Bai Jiaxuan was arrested and imprisoned, they stood idly by and ignored him. How could the people be convinced? Even if they became the clan leader in the future, no one would listen to them, so how could they be the clan leader?

Therefore, Lu Zilin decided to accept Mr. Leng and take the lead in rescuing Bai Jiaxuan.

After discussing with his father, Tian Fuxian and others, he decided to go to the city and go to the prison to tell Bai Jiaxuan to blame the monks of Sanguan Temple for the peasant uprising.

Anyway, Magistrate He wanted to pursue this matter because he wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and avoid causing trouble when he collects grain in the future. So just give him a chicken to kill, no matter who the chicken is.

The monk in Sanguan Temple had no relatives or friends, and he was alone. No one would pity him when he died. Therefore, the blame was placed on him and he was made to be the scapegoat.

When the time comes, County Magistrate He gets angry and the people are frightened, so Bai Jiaxuan can be released.

And he, Lu Zilin, rescued Bai Jiaxuan and became the biggest contributor to Bailu Village, so his position as patriarch was naturally assured.

So Lu Zilin went to the city.



Xiang Nan took Lu San to the Bai family.

When he came to the door, he saw Bai Xiaowen and Bai Xiaowu sitting at the door.

Bai Xiaowen was sobbing, but Bai Xiaowu was confused.

"Brother, why aren't you crying?" Bai Xiaowen asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Brother, why are you crying?" Bai Xiaowu asked puzzledly.

"Da was taken away." Bai Xiaowen explained, "He will never come back."

"Then why don't I cry? Wuwuwu..." Bai Xiaowu also covered his eyes and howled.

"You don't have any tears at all, you are just pretending to cry." Bai Xiaowen said.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan pursed his lips and walked in with Lu San.

"Third brother, Hei Wa is here~" Zhu Bai rushed out to greet him upon seeing him.

"Third brother~" When Wu Xiancao saw him, his eyes immediately turned red.

Bai Jiaxuan was arrested, and the whole family was at a loss. They didn't know what to do, and there was no one to discuss the matter with. Therefore, seeing Lu Sanlai, everyone seemed to have someone to rely on.

"Aunt, brothers and sisters, don't worry, Hei Wa said he can save Jiaxuan." Lu San said.

Hearing what he said, Bai Zhao, Wu Xiancao, and Zhu Bai all looked at Xiang Nan, "Hei Wa, is it true?"

Xiang Nan nodded and asked Zhu Bai, "Auntie, when Mr. Zhu left, did he leave you a letter so that you could contact Governor Zhang if you have anything?"

Mr. Zhu Bai was stunned for a moment, and then he clapped his hands and said, "Yes, how could I forget about this?"

When Bai Zhaoshi and Wu Xiancao saw this, they were also surprised. They didn't expect that Xiang Nan could know such a private matter. He was really able to figure it out and predict the future.

"The magistrate of He County is under the control of Governor Zhang. As long as Governor Zhang comes forward, Jiaxuan Bo will be safe and sound," Xiang Nan said.

Bai Zhaoshi, Zhu Baishi, and Wu Xiancao's eyes suddenly lit up, as if they all saw hope.

"Can Governor Zhang take care of it?" Wu Xiancao asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu persuaded Fang Sheng to retreat 200,000 Qing soldiers, saved the entire city of Xi'an, and relieved Governor Zhang's urgent need." Xiang Nan said, "And the matter of Uncle Jiaxuan is not a big deal to Governor Zhang. It's not important. He won't care about emotion or reason.

You take Mr. Zhu's letter to the provincial capital to find Governor Zhang and tell him about Uncle Jiaxuan, and this matter can be solved easily."

"Okay, okay, okay."
