Ling Yun did not go back to Xiaolou directly, but took advantage of the light and returned to the county office, Zhang Anguo had already stood respectfully outside the county office, waiting for a long time.

Ling Yun said, "Why are you here?"

When Zhang Anguo saw Ling Yun, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, you forgot, today is the end of the month, so the villain came to settle the account with Mr. Accounts." ”

Ling Yun said: "Mr. Bookkeeper is gone, how much silver have you advanced?"

Zhang Anguo said: "My lord, this month's hired workers plus the purchase of various items, a total of one hundred and twenty taels, and any car, sixty taels, a total of one hundred and eighty taels." ”

Ling Yun touched his pocket, took out two taels of gold, handed it to him, and said, "Are these enough?"

Zhang Anguo was overjoyed to take the gold and said, "My lord, I don't have that much silver on me, wait for me to go back and get twenty taels and return it to my lord." ”

Ling Yun waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll reward you with those twenty taels." ”

Zhang Anguo knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and said, "Lord Xie." ”

Ling Yun thought of something and said, "There is something I want to ask you, you must tell the truth." ”

Zhang Anguo said: "Although the adults ask, the villains know everything." ”

Ling Yun asked, "Do you know about these officials in the county government?" He remembered Hu Shao's words, although he believed that she would not lie to herself, but he still had some doubts in his heart, and he had to find someone to corroborate it to be convinced.

Zhang Anguo smiled awkwardly and said, "This, adults should know better." ”

Ling Yun was afraid that he would be jealous of Wang Sancheng in front of him, so he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he said: "I heard that some of my subordinates were born as Jiangyang thieves, and they are innocent of death, do you know this?"

Zhang Anguo heard many similar rumors, especially Wang Sancheng, who was still the leader of the thieves, and now seeing him asking such a question, he couldn't figure out the intention, and said: "My lord, I don't know about this. ”

Ling Yun said: "You don't have to be afraid, even if you tell the truth, if you are deceived, you will be arrested and put in prison now." ”

Zhang Anguo looked embarrassed and said: "My lord, I have also heard this saying in the market, saying that some of your subordinates used to be Jiangyang thieves, but I think this is nonsense. ”

Ling Yun already knew it in his heart, so he didn't ask any more questions, and said in his heart: "What Hu Shao said is really right. ”

Ling Yun said: "Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask you, the officials in the county government were killed by the prisoners because they arrested the criminals, so they want to trouble you, and recently help me recruit a few officials to come over, otherwise I will become the commander of the light pole." ”

Zhang Anguo knew that this was a beautiful errand, and it was a good errand for the officials in Jingnan County, and the county order instructed him to recruit people, so he handed over the power to appoint the officials, and hurriedly kowtowed, and said: "I must do my best to find the best officials for the adults, and live up to the trust of the adults." ”

Ling Yun only felt that the yin qi in this county government was too heavy, and Hu Yinshan didn't know where to go, so he was afraid that he might make a move at any time if he hid in the shadows, so he planned to recruit a few officials to increase the yang energy of the county government.

After Zhang Anguo left with great gratitude, Ling Yun pushed the door and walked into the county office.

The county government was gloomy, and Ling Yun had planned to take advantage of the dawn to take a closer look at the dungeon again, but at this moment, he saw that the courtyard was already so dark and lifeless, so he dispelled the idea of going to the dungeon.

Ling Yun walked up to the lobby and lit the candlelight, spreading out a dim light.

Suddenly, the flame of the candle flickered, and a strange wind blew violently into the lobby, mixed with a moist breath, and the sky was gloomy, and before long, the rain poured down.

The most unfortunate thing is that the roof of the county government hall, because the assassins came to assassinate Ziruo that night, stepped through a big hole, and now it became a patio, and the rain flowed down the hole, forming a water curtain on all sides.

Ling Yun dodged the leaking hole and sat in the lobby, because he didn't bring an oil-paper umbrella, he could only wait for the rain to go back. Although he can freeze the world, he will inevitably get soaked when he travels through the hovering rain.

The rain kept falling, and there was no sign of the rain decreasing for a long time, Ling Yun felt quite thirsty, picked up the teacup on the high platform in the lobby, washed it in the rain flowing through the hole for a while, took a cup of rainwater, and took it to the lamp to observe for a while, after all, this world is very polluted, and the rain is very clean and transparent.

Ling Yun raised the teacup and drank it all, the teacup was small and not enough to quench his thirst, and Ling Yun walked to the hole to catch water.

Sitting on the Taishi chair, Ling Yun put the cup aside, wiped his hands with the corner of his clothes, stretched out his hand to pick up the cup, and was just about to drink it all, when suddenly a thin needle flew in the dark and pierced the cup, the teacup suddenly split into two pieces, fell on the table, and the rain fell on the countertop.

Ling Yun was wet with his sleeves wet by the rain, and he was about to get angry, but he saw the familiar figure in the dark in the direction where the thin needle was flying, and the qi in his heart disappeared all of a sudden.

In the shadows was hiding the veiled Hu Shao, hidden in the shadows on the west side of the lobby, and a curtain just covered her, and she put her fingers on her lips, made a silent gesture, and then pointed to the roof.

Ling Yun immediately realized, it turned out that there was someone on the roof, and he deliberately said loudly: "Oops, why did your hand slip and actually broke the teacup, it's really unlucky." ”

In the sound of heavy rain, there was a slight sound of the roof tiles moving.

At the hole in the roof, at the moment of a black dot probe, Hu Shao's two flying needles quickly stabbed out, but he didn't expect the black dot to be faster, dodging the flying needle, and there was a burst of children's laughter on the roof, it was the god foot demon boy.

The laughter faded away, and there was a sound from the roof tiles, which turned out to be that he stepped on them and ran away quickly, kicking the tiles loose, causing rainwater to seep in and drip on the lobby, and the county office was leaking everywhere.

The place where Ling Yun was sitting leaked the most, and a column of rain rushed down, so he had to quickly get up and dodge.

Seeing this, Hu Shao smiled and said, "You are a big man, and you are still so afraid of water?" It was not easy for the ancients to get water, and the rain was far cleaner than the river water, so once it rained, every household took out all the pots and pots, which were filled with water and could be drunk directly.

Ling Yun snorted and said, "How do you plan to compensate for breaking my teacup?"

Hu Shao's hiding place also began to leak, and he walked to the candlelight and said, "Oh, it turned out to be your teacup, I don't know if there is a spirit under Wang Sancheng, will there be an urge to crawl out and strangle you?"

Ling Yun said: "I will be afraid of him, he is a fat ball when he is alive, and he is nothing more than a fat man when he dies." ”

Hu Shao said with a smile in his eyes: "In the dungeon, someone saw Wang Sancheng's half-unformed body, and his legs trembled with fear, that person turned out to be not you." ”

Ling Yun asked in surprise, "How do you know that there is a dungeon?"

Hu Shao said coldly: "You have had a lot of fun in the county government for half a month, hugging left and right, one snow bead is not enough, and you have to grab another pearl from the previous dynasty." ”

Ling Yun's face turned red and said, "Didn't you install a needle's eye monitoring?"

Hu Shao asked, "What?"

Ling Yun said: "If you don't understand, forget it." ”

Hu Shao said: "I won't tell you how I saw it, I thought you were so skilled that you couldn't even notice it to such a small person as the roof, and I followed you for so many days and I didn't feel anything, it's really disappointing." ”

Ling Yun said: "Rooftop Mo is not the Divine Foot Sect Demon Boy who is known as the Second Taibao of Shenxing, why did he come to follow me?"

Hu Shao said: "How do I know, if you bullied others and robbed other people's wives, who knows?"

Seeing her sneering, Ling Yun smiled evilly: "Then why are you following me, is it because I didn't rob you of being my wife?"

Hu Shao said angrily: "If you make this kind of joke again, be careful that I cut your tongue!"

Ling Yun pretended to be scared and said, "I cut my tongue, how can I still complain to you?"

Hu Shao snorted and said, "You are a disciple like you, you are as lustful as your life, and sooner or later you will die on the color character." ”

Ling Yun grinned and said: "My life is worthless, where I die is not death, it is better than dying under someone's needle, after death, it will become a puddle of yellow juice, which stinks." ”

Hu Shao took a sip and said, "Phew, I saved your life, and I haven't said how to repay me!"

Ling Yun grinned and said, "Today I saved your brother Hu Kui's life, the two lives are worth off, I don't owe you anymore, but you still owe me a teacup." ”

Hu Shao said: "My brother has a cheap life, where can I compare to you, since you said that the two lives are worth off, then you will drink the poisonous water on the table and die, go back and I will slaughter my brother, you two will meet underground, it is not better to level it out like this, and I don't have to return you a teacup." ”

Ling Yun waved his hand and said, "Forget it, the teacup died unjustly, but it is also worth it, and you don't need to pay it back." ”
