All the officers and dart masters stood up and saluted, "Your Excellency." ”

Xu Daoyun didn't know where to hide and put on the fang-green bright leather, looking heroic and chic, he waved his hand and sat on the main seat, "You don't have to be formal, it's troublesome, have you counted it, how much gold and silver is there?"

The old dart master turned his eyes, and Mr. Accounts hurriedly walked to the center with the account book, and read in a trembling voice: "A total of 24,856 taels of silver, 5,138 taels of gold, and the value of the rest of the jade jewelry is undetermined." ”

Xu Daoyun nodded and asked, "This time there was a sudden flood in the Wangsi River, did you send a messenger to investigate how many people were killed, and how many refugees are now living in or around Anyan Town?"

All the officers looked at each other, and their faces showed embarrassment.

Xu Daoyun was slightly annoyed in his heart, and ordered: "From now on, count the number of people who have been killed by the disaster." In addition, the rice merchants in the town were notified to purchase a large amount of goods, and the cost of manpower and material resources required to transport the materials could be reimbursed by the town guard's mansion, but there must be bills to prove it, and those who intended to profit from it would not be spared. ”

Everyone agreed in unison.

Yan Dengwu whispered to Li Wenjuan and the others: "See, today's Daoyun brothers are really different from what they used to be, they are vigorous and resolute, orderly, calm and wise, no wonder they can serve as Qingqiwei at a young age." ”

Gong Yuancai sighed: "Hey, Brother Daoyun is extraordinary, we are really beyond our reach." ”

Huang Yanyao clenched his fists, "Hey, why bother to be self-indulgent? There is a way that I am born with talent and must be useful, as long as we are willing to work hard, we will be able to shine one day, why bother to feel sorry for ourselves here?"

Gong Yuancai smiled bitterly, "It's also..."

Xu Daoyun got up and said, "Okay, the night is dark, everyone is tired after a day's work, hurry up and rest." It's just that the side courtyards and wings of this town guard house are limited, and they can't accommodate so many of us. ”

The old dart master said: "Don't be afraid, there are many inns in this Anyan town, and I will lead the brothers to the inn to stay." ”

"It's fine. Xu Daoyun nodded in agreement, and said to the servants: "You all go home and rest, come over early tomorrow to help distribute disaster silver, sell more strength, and your benefits are indispensable." ”

The officers were overjoyed and nodded, "Yes." ”

Everyone dispersed, and only Xu Daoyun and Yan Dengwu and others were left in the front hall.

"Brother Daoyun, good means. Gong Yuancai gave a thumbs up.

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "Brother Yuancai has won the award, everyone go and rest, the town guard mansion is huge, where do you want to sleep." ”

......

Xu Daoyun came to live in a small courtyard called Jiang Chengyuan in the inner courtyard.

Although this courtyard is a little worse than Zhang Chengfu's Ding Rou Courtyard, it is also very exquisite, with high beds and soft pillows, and ornaments and playthings are all worth a lot.

It took several days to come to this Anyan Town, the people were sleepy and tired, and they tossed for half a night, they were really sleepy, and they fell asleep.

Although he fell asleep, the Xuan Gong in his body was constantly running, and his soul automatically entered the inner heaven and earth to cultivate, and he did not delay his cultivation when he slept.

I was sleeping soundly when someone knocked on the door.

Xu Daoyun woke up in a dream, and his first reaction was to hold the sword box, and only after a while did he relax his nerves, lie down again, and said lazily: "No lock, come in." ”

The door opened, and a fair-skinned and beautiful woman entered, dressed in a plain white tulle dress, with her arms and calves exposed, wearing light makeup, and all kinds of amorous styles.

Xu Daoyun was taken aback again, and hurriedly sat up, "You are Zhang Chengfu's main room?

Although the beautiful woman's facial features are delicate and moving, there is a dead silence in her eyes, and there is no sparkle at all.

She bowed, her red lips slightly opened, "My lord, Zhang Chengfu swallowed the disaster silver privately, and it is not a pity to die, but I have a husband and wife with him, and I can't bear to see him suffer before he dies, so I beg the adults to let him go." ”

Xu Daoyun was angry in his heart, and got up and said: "Suffered? Hanging in front of the door of the mansion is a crime? Then those people who were exploited by him to the point of ruining their homes, which one of them did not freeze to death and starve to death, and they were guilty before they died?"

The beautiful woman was speechless, her eyes sparkling with tears.

Xu Daoyun was about to kick her out, but he saw her pull the ribbon around her waist with her bare hands, the tulle slipped down her feet, and a wonderful ketone body appeared in front of her.

Xu Daoyun took in all the things that should be seen and what should not be seen in a single glance, he hurriedly turned around and said hurriedly: "What are you doing here?"

The beautiful woman said: "The concubine doesn't ask for anything else, just that the adults can give him a good time." ”

Xu Daoyun said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, as a human wife, you should be loyal and self-clean, how can you do such an unfaithful and unfilial thing!"

The beautiful woman's body trembled, her teeth bit her lower lip, she took two steps forward with her lotus feet, and her body gently leaned on Xu Daoyun's back, her voice was like a mosquito, "As long as you can make him suffer less, the concubine is willing to bear the infamy of infidelity." ”

Xu Daoyun tensed, gritted his teeth and turned around.

The beautiful woman breathed for a moment and closed her eyes in resignation.

Xu Daoyun bypassed her, picked up the thin veil on the ground, put it on her body again, and said: "If I really do something to you today, not only will I become the kind of corrupt official who accepts bribes, but also cause you to become a dishonest woman. ”

As she spoke, Xu Daoyun snatched the short knife she had hidden in her left hand and grinned, "I have a grudge against you for killing your husband and son, and you want to die with me, which is understandable, but have you thought about it, once you die, what will your young daughter do?"

The beautiful woman grabbed the tulle on her chest and sobbed quietly.

Xu Daoyun sighed, handed the short knife back to her, and said, "You go, Zhang Chengfu's death crime is inevitable, but the living crime can be tolerated as appropriate, and when I wake up, I will let him down." ”

The beautiful woman was overjoyed, and knelt down and prostrated repeatedly.

Xu Daoyun didn't stop her, came to the bed and sat down, "Remember, my name is Xu Daoyun, if you want to take revenge, just come to me." ”

The beautiful woman, with tears on her face, bowed her head three more times, and got up to leave.

"Wait. Xu Daoyun stopped her, took out a robe from the Qiankun bag and handed it over, "Put it on, don't let people misunderstand." ”

The beautiful woman nodded, put on her robe, glanced up at Xu Daoyun, and turned to leave Jiang Chengyuan.

Xu Daoyun let out a long breath, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep again.

......

The second day, the beginning of the morning.

Xu Daoyun ordered the messenger to put Zhang Chengfu down and put him in prison, during which the beautiful woman wanted to go into the prison to visit with a lunch box, but was stopped by the guards.

She had no choice but to come back and beg Xu Daoyun again.

Xu Daoyun didn't want to agree, but Huang Yanyao and others also talked about her love, and finally had to agree, otherwise it would be too cold-blooded and ruthless.

Countless refugees came to collect the disaster money, and the streets of Anyan Town were jammed.

Xu Daoyun said to the old dart master: "Brother, I'll leave it to you here, the post report was sent out overnight yesterday, I think the imperial court will soon send a new official to govern here, and it will be hard for you these days." ”

The old master asked, "Are you leaving?"

Xu Daoyun nodded, "Yes, this case is tricky, the deadline for solving the case is only thirty days, and now it has been nine days, and it will take another seven days to rush back to Qingping County, so it is better to hurry up, so as not to change later." ”

The old dart master bowed his hand, "Then I wish you a smooth journey." ”

"Thank you. ”

Xu Daoyun returned the salute, turned over and got on his horse, and went out with Huang Yanyao and a few people from the side gate of the town guard mansion and left Anyan Town.

......

Seven days later, Xu Daoyun rushed back to Qingping County, and then immediately rushed to the Dulwich Dart Bureau without stopping.

Ye Yinghao led Xu Daoyun and the others to the front hall to serve tea, "My lord, do you have eyebrows?"

Xu Daoyun drank all the tea in the teacup in one gulp, nodded and said, "With it, I rushed to Anyan Town and compared the tokens with the dart masters one by one, and there was no mistake." But the old dart master said that there was a dart master who fell ill on the way and came back from leave, named Fan Zhan, I don't know if Ye Darthead knows it?"

Ye Yinghao said: "I know Fan Zhan, but I don't know if he has ever returned. ”

Xu Daoyun stood up and said hurriedly: "Ye Darttou, where does Fan Chong's family live?"

In the pear blossom lane of Xishui Street in the north of Qingping County, which lane and which house to live in, adults will know when they go to the county government to check the household.

"Thank you. ”

Xu Daoyun bowed, left the Dulwich Dart Bureau with Huang Yanyao and others, and drove to the direction of the county office.

Gong Yuancai sighed: "Brother Daoyun, you are really good, even Ye Dart has to call you an adult, he is the number one big man in the rivers and lakes." ”

Li Wenjuan's eyes fell on the shops next to the street, her eyes were shining, and her face couldn't hide the joy, "This is Qingping County, it's really prosperous." ”

Huang Yanyao also smiled and said: "Qingping County is still like this, so what kind of scenery should Qingping Mansion be?"

Gong Yuancai said: "Qingping Mansion is located in the Red Banner Guard stronghold of Yunwei Division, the hundred schools of Zhongmiao Xuanmen, Yangshan Temple, Dongyu Academy, Jinzhen Yu Family, and Renyi Xu Family, which is the real prosperous place where the dragons gather. ”

Listening to their discussion, Xu Daoyun also longed for it, so he asked: "I am already a Qingqiwei, can I still participate in the selection of Zhongmiao Xuanmen?"

Yan Dengwu said: "Yes, one of the Miao Xuanmen is called the Legalist, which is dedicated to the collection of people in the Yunwei Division. Of course, if the Daoyun brothers want to join other families, it can also be done, it all depends on personal preference and talent. ”

Several people dismounted in front of the county office, Xu Daoyun showed his waist card, entered the county office, and found the master to check the household book, and sure enough, the detailed address of Fan Chong's residence was registered.

Xu Daoyun will leave the county government and rush to Lihua Lane on Xishui Street.

Rushed to Pear Blossom Lane and came to one of the smaller tiled houses.

Yan Dengwu said: "There is a copper lock on the outside, Fan Zhan should not be there." ”

Xu Daoyun raised his luck, and shook the copper lock with one palm, and the door leaf hit the wall in the room and rebounded back.

The neighbors who were curious and came to see the excitement were all startled, and they couldn't imagine that this young man was so reckless in doing things.

Xu Daoyun walked into the house, the furnishings in the house were simple, only a bed, a table, an incense cabinet, and a few paintings on the wall, but nothing else.

Huang Yanyao said: "There is nothing in this, where can he go?"

Xu Daoyun shook his head and was about to turn away, when his eyes suddenly stopped on the pillow of the bed.

"What's wrong?" Yan Dengwu asked.

Xu Daoyun didn't answer, stepped forward to flip the pillow over, took out a note from the broken compartment, opened it and looked at it, and his face changed greatly.

Yan Dengwu asked, "Brother Daoyun, what is written on it?"

Xu Daoyun said: "All the names and addresses written on it are the names and addresses of the murdered women, Liu Yinyin in Qinglian Lane, Wei Wenqian in Caixia Lane, Zhang Xin in Heyang Village, and Xiaojiu in Koulu Village. ”

His voice froze, and he muttered, "Xiaojiu ...... Koulu Village"
