Liu Yingyi and Ning Wu glanced at each other, neither of them expected that the emperor's holy decree would come at this time.

Although the son of heaven is a young man, seeing the holy decree is like seeing the king. The two men were dressed and then received the decree.

The father-in-law who passed the decree was also a fresh face, holding a scroll of holy decrees, holding a male duck's voice, and announcing the decree with a matter: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The case of Qianmo glass lock, I have already understood, do not need to investigate." A special decree was issued to reward Liu Gong for his meritorious work in the case, and Dongzi County was well governed, so it would be convenient to act in the future, and a hundred taels of gold were specially sent to reward Liu Gong and those who had made meritorious contributions to solving the case. ”

After passing the decree, the young father-in-law who passed the decree brought another hundred taels of gold rewarded by the emperor, said a few good words, Liu Yingyi gave him a few ingots of broken silver, and the father-in-law left with a smile on his face.

Although Liu Yingyi also doesn't like to curry favor with the eunuchs in the palace, there is no big greed in these years, small greed is rampant, and corruption is prevalent in all walks of life. Although we dare not openly show corruption, this kind of bribery has been repeatedly prohibited.

"What does he mean by that?" Ning Wu pointed to the top, which means "emperor".

Liu Yingyi smiled bitterly: "The gentleman's heart is unpredictable, although Your Majesty is young, but his mind is lively, I am afraid it is difficult for ordinary people to guess his heart." ”

"I guess it's mostly related to the one in the store, after all, he came all the way from the capital to see you, and he didn't feel at ease with you and me." Ning Wuze muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Don't speculate about the holy will, be careful that the wall has ears." Yoo Young-yi warned the other party.

"I'm afraid of him, Lao Tzu and his family have sacrificed their lives for the country, and I am the only seedling left in the family, so it's a big deal to take my little life away, anyway, Lao Tzu is too tired alone."

Liu Yingyi ignored his inconspicuous complaints, and held the two ingots of gold in his hand, one ingot of gold fifty taels, and it was full of weight. In these years, gold is more expensive than silver and gold, and there is such an ingot of gold, which is enough for ordinary people to live a life with food and clothing.

"Take this ingot of gold to Qin Zhutou and let him distribute it to the guys of the county government, and give another ingot to that woman, which should calm her anger." Liu Yingyi muttered to herself.

Ning Wuze was not angry and said, "Yes, if you can rest assured of me, let me take this ingot of gold and tell the water girl." If you go, I'm afraid that you will be angry with other girls, and maybe someone will kick you out with a piece of gold. ”

Liu Yingyi was silent for a while, but still agreed to Ning Wuze. It is said that a woman's heart is a needle under the sea, which is difficult to figure out, Liu Yingyi didn't think it before, but now she really thinks so.

A figure swept through the small courtyard of Shui Qingxiang's house like a flying swallow, and then ran to the Confucius Temple on the outskirts of Dongzi County as fast as possible, in other words, no one would believe that Shui Dali, who was still sick in bed a few months ago, would run faster than the young man.

This Confucius Temple is the only temple in the county, the people used to be boiling, but since the murder, very few people have gone in again, and even the people who worship the temple have run away, and now it is full of ashes, weeds and sentient beings, as if it has become a broken temple.

Shui Dali's brows were tightly locked, his back was straight, and his whole body looked at everything in the temple with a sense of vigilance.

The temple was originally dark, there was no incense, and there was no fire and candle in the temple, and there seemed to be nothing in the empty temple, only a dilapidated and bleak place.

"Come out, ask me out, and people are hiding in the shadows, what does it mean?" Shui Dali's rough and hoarse voice sounded.

It didn't take long for a burly man to run out of nowhere, holding a big knife in his hand, obviously a practitioner.

"Brother Yan, long time no see, don't come unharmed?" The man clenched his fists and asked Hou Dao vigorously.

Niu Dali looked displeased, "Don't call me by this name, I have already changed my name and surname, and everything before has nothing to do with me." ”

"Are you really willing to give up everything you had in the past?"

"Hmph, I'm over half a hundred years old, I've long seen through everything on the rivers and lakes, the past has nothing to do with me, and you don't want to look for me as a waste." Niu Dali didn't seem to want to talk to the other party anymore.

But the man didn't want to end the conversation like this: "If you can really let it go, hand over the treasure map." When we have put together the treasure map, you go with us to explore the treasure, and the treasure will be divided into half for you, otherwise, you will not think about yourself, but also for your daughter. ”

Niu Dali's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were full of fierceness.

"For so many years, no one has dared to threaten me with my family, and you are the first."

The man saw Niu Dali with a fierce face, and he was not stunned, but chuckled, "I heard the name of Huoyun Palm many years ago, but for so many years, the younger brother has also practiced this knife well, I don't know if Huoyun Palm still has the power of the year?" ”

……

Ning Wuze carried two jars in his two hands, and walked into the Shuiji grocery store with his legs raised.

Shui Qingxiang was keeping accounts in the shop, while Murong Yiyou was holding a feather duster in his hand, dusting off the ashes while looking at Shui Qingxiang's account book.

As soon as Ning Wuze entered the shop, when he saw these two people, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the two jars he was carrying in his hands almost fell to the ground.

"Yo, Boss Ning, what kind of wind blew you here?" Shui Qingxiang looked up and greeted her with a smile.

"I ...... I'll take a look. Hey, it's been a lot of weird things these days, Boss Shui, you have a lot of skills, anyone dares to invite anyone to the store. ”

Murong Yiyou knew that Ning Wuzi was alluding to him, and said with a smile: "I was passing through here, fortunately I was taken in by the water boss, she didn't think I was clumsy, I treated work as a game, and there were many interesting things in her shop." ”

Interesting? Ning Wuze couldn't help but twitch when he heard this word.

"Hehe, the little boy is also an interesting person."

Shui Qingxiang didn't understand the dumb riddle between them, saw the two jars in Ning Wuze's hands, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This jar is a fine sake lees fish, which I bought at Piaoxiangfang and gave to the water girl and the guys in the shop to try it; The other altar is the daughter red in the winery, and I brought it to make amends for my junior brother. ”

Shui Qingxiang couldn't imagine that Ning Wuze, who looked very rough, had a very sweet mouth, "I can't afford to make amends, I am the county commander, I am just a stupid girl who doesn't know the height of the sky and wants to be a fast catcher, so I won't go on a special trip with Boss Lao Ning." ”

Ning Wu smiled in his heart, and said in his heart that this girl is not small.

"My junior brother has been like this since he was a child, he looks smart, but he is actually honest in his heart, and he has never dealt with women since he was a child. If you let him handle official business, he will ensure that he does it better than anyone else, and he does it more seriously than anyone else, but you want him to coax women, but I am afraid that he will not give birth to that mouth in his life. ”

"He didn't do anything wrong, since he couldn't let me be an errand by his side, why didn't he say it in the first place, did he lie to me by his side to investigate the case, did he treat me as a fool?"

Murong Yiyou looked at the two of them coldly.

"The junior brother appreciates the talent of the water girl, I have come all the way, and I have also seen the excellence of the water girl, but this court has its own regulations, although the junior brother is a county order, it cannot be an exception. The younger brother didn't want to waste the girl's talent, so he wanted to ask the girl to help in the name of a private person, although this is not the name of catching fast, but doing the errand of catching fast, Yu Lu came out of the junior brother's Yu Lu, he wanted to wait until he came back and then tell the girl clearly, I didn't expect you two to be anxious. ”

"That'...... Then why didn't he make it clear before? Shui Qingxiang's cheeks couldn't help but redden.

"It's not because he's stupid that he let me come. The emperor ordered to reward Dongzi County with one hundred taels of gold, and he asked me to bring fifty taels to the girl on the back foot. ”

As he spoke, Ning Wuze had already taken out fifty taels of gold from his arms.

Fifty taels of gold is a huge amount of money in this dynasty. Even if Shui Qingxiang runs this grocery store conscientiously for a lifetime, I am afraid that she may not be able to save so much gold.

"Then why didn't he make it clear when he came in the morning?" Shui Qingxiang was a little annoyed, and felt that she shouldn't be too reckless in the morning.

"Girl, don't be angry anymore, continue to work in the yamen tomorrow, we'll wait for the girl."
