Liu Yichen grabbed the heavy silver from his arms again. "Take the two guest officers upstairs, he ordered the old lady, but it's just a bite."

The shopkeeper and the servant over there took another handful of silver and said with a smile. "It's to play one dragon and two phoenixes, this guest officer is bold enough!"

The two of them walked into the house, and in the hallway, there were men hugging the singer. His face was flushed with the smell of wine and swayed.

The woman slammed the door shut and whispered. "That Xiao is a water-based poplar flower, so profligate, even I can't compare."

Liu Yichen looked at her and thought to himself. "This woman's words, I'm afraid that she will say everything for the sake of silver, whether it's true or false, listen to it first."

Song Zhiyao listened to her words carefully. "It's that person, every time he comes, he registers a different document, he is eight feet tall, and he is a talent."

Liu Yichen sighed and continued. "Is it them, like this, that big treasurer, who has not found out, and has been kept in the dark?"

The woman continued. "It's just that the shopkeeper, who is sick every day, his face is pale, it seems that he is seeking Buddha and cultivating the Tao, and on weekdays, he is rarely seen coming out."

Song Zhiyao looked at her expression and handed her another piece of silver. "Girl, don't keep it a secret, we'll come back in a few days."

The woman was holding the silver with an exaggerated expression. "Uh, I don't dare to talk nonsense, let the big shopkeeper know, I'm afraid that my life will not be guaranteed."

They went down together, and Song Zhiyao deliberately made her hair unkempt and disheveled. The woman walked to the counter and said with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, this guest is really powerful and generous, come back next time." Liu Yichen also made a timely move, took the silver, and slapped it on the table.

They went outside, and the rain was pouring down, and there was a dead silence all around, and it was pitch black, and they couldn't see their fingers. "Xianggong, how do you go back?"

The wind was colder than ever. Song Zhiyao was tidying up her unkempt hair, and her cute little face was also red from the cold, and she sneezed.

Liu Yichen also regretted it in his heart. "If you let Hou Qu and Xiong Li, these two come along, they won't be so troublesome, it's really a mistake."

At this time, a donkey cart arrived. Liu Yichen held the silver in his hand and waved his hand. The coachman flicked his whip and stood down.

Liu Yichen stepped forward and said politely. "Man, this is silver, please do me a favor." The coachman looked at them for a moment, took the money, and got into the car.

It turned out to be a hay cart, and luckily, it was just heading towards their residence. The wheels of the car swayed, making Song Zhiyao's body tremble.

"This road is really difficult to walk, I don't know which unlucky guy will come out so late?" Suddenly, I saw a red light in front of me.

It turned out to be a horse-drawn carriage, lit with pink light, and it was very gorgeous. There were two people inside, hugging each other very affectionately, and the figures were somewhat familiar.

"I'm afraid it's not the Xiao family." Just then, the donkey cart stopped in front of their residence. "Excuse me, man." The two packed up their things and walked down.

Hou Qu and Xiong Li, the two walked out together to greet them. Song Zhiyao looked at the distant back and thought in her heart. "You should follow."

She wiped the water marks on her forehead and reached out her hand, pointing into the distance. "Follow along, that woman is most likely the Xiao family."

When Liu Yichen heard this, he was shocked. "I didn't expect this woman to be like a man during her mourning, she must be suspicious."

They drove the wagon along the muddy ruts as fast as they could. The carriage in front of them seemed to notice them and moved forward faster.

Cornering several streets, they were lucky enough to follow. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and they reached a river ahead and hid under the grass at the root of the tree.

The carriage in front of it, with a creak, was tied to the tree. A burly figure walked out below, holding a woman and smiling with a mouthful of food.

"Wrongdoer, it's not that guy, it's like this." The figure hugged the woman, wrapped her arms around her neck, and kissed her hard.

Song Zhiyao and the others tried their best to press down on the grass. "That voice is indeed like that woman's, shall we wait a little longer and dispatch?"

A shining light slashed through, and thunder roared. The figure ran a few steps forward, quickly disappeared into the rain, and boarded a boat.

Liu Yichen rubbed his eyes and pulled Song Zhiyao. "Yao'er, I feel like it's her, your feeling is right, this woman has already been on good terms."

Hou Qu and Xiong Li said on the side. "My lord, what are you waiting for? Pull out the corrupt woman and send her to the yamen, and the matter will be over. ”

Liu Yichen turned his head and looked at them with a wry smile. "If that's the case, it's easy to do, but this woman steals a man, and she can't be said to kill someone."

A few of them looked at the boat for a long time. It was brightly lit, rainy, and musical, wafting through the air.

Then Liu Yichen took off his clothes and draped them on Song Zhiyao. "Yao'er, you've suffered, wait a little longer, and it's naturally fine."

They waited until the early hours of the morning, when the boat was on the shore. Through the faint light, that face and Xiao's face were similar in shape, even the angular shape.

The man and woman got into the carriage again. Whipping the horse. There was a snap, and the horse rode into the dust.

Song Zhiyao and the others also rushed to the car, but this time, they were quickly thrown away. When I arrived at a stone road, I couldn't even find the traces of ruts.

Liu Yichen said helplessly. "We didn't run into her, it seems that the other party was on guard, but it's also a good thing, and now we have no evidence."

Listening to his words, Song Zhiyao suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Xianggong, let's go to that store and have a look, maybe there will be some clues."

Everyone felt that this was a good idea, and drove the carriage to the door of the shop. I saw only a line of footprints, carrying mud, to the gate.

The shops around are still closed, except for a few breakfast stalls. "This line of footprints, there must be a saying, let's take a look."

Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao, the two of them ordered some fritters, soy milk, and ate and drank in large gulps. "This stall owner, opposite the Xiao family, how is it on weekdays?"

The stall owner looked at them and scratched his head in surprise. "My lord, I know how to sell early to make a living, and I don't know anything else."

Then he went to the pot again, took the chopsticks, and the hot oil made a sizzling sound, stirring the fritters. Song Zhiyao looked at him and felt it in her heart.

"It seems that this person knows something that he shouldn't know, which is why he is so afraid of us." She finished drinking the soy milk, and then whispered to Yichen.

"Xianggong, why don't we let the county government come and search again, maybe the most critical secret is in this shop, let's not go first."

Soon, the county magistrate took a team of officials and surrounded the house. Xiao Shi's face was ruddy, his eyes were dark, and he knelt heavily on the ground.

She rubbed her face and howled. "My lord, the little woman is doing something to surpass the soul of her deceased husband, but why is this the case?"

Her appearance is so miserable and pitiful. The people on the side, gossiping, watching the excitement, there is no shortage of sympathetic people.

The county magistrate looked over there, and now his identity is very difficult to do. "Girl, the official has found a clue, but he still has to go to check it."

Xiao dragged on for a long time before reluctantly walking in with those servants. "In that case, girls, I would like to entertain you."

A few handmaidens came below, also wearing filial piety clothes and white turbans. Dessert and tea were served. "Ladies and gentlemen, please use it slowly."

The prefectural commander waved his hand and replied kindly but firmly. "Ladies and gentlemen, today we are only talking about business, and we will search this house again."

Those officials searched for a long time. Xiao followed, pleading. "Ladies and gentlemen, that's the husband's ornament, I beg you."

The county magistrate looked at the mourning hall over there, and he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it. "Go to the garden and breathe, and then talk."

He walked straight into the garden, where there were colorful roses and moon seasons, and the warm wind blew, a fresh fragrance, refreshing the heart.

He walked over and looked at the rockery in the distance. "I can't think of the shopkeeper, but also have leisure and elegance, although this place is small, but there is a cave."

The prefectural order relaxes and walks gently. A white Persian cat with a magpie in the corner of its mouth was spotted, jumping up and down.

"This kitten is so funny." The prefectural commander pulled his clothes and ran up. The cat, with its paws, hit a bird's nest, plopped, and threw it to the ground.

The county magistrate lowered his head and looked at the bird's nest. A few golden ingots fell out from below. He stretched out his hand, it was very heavy, it turned out to be a gold ingot.

The county magistrate looked around and wondered. "Where did the gold ingots come from in such a place?" At this time, Xiao ran over quickly.

"Lord Qingtian, the little girl is out of company, a little heart, not a respect." Holding a plate of silver in his hand, he said very respectfully.

The county commander waved his hand and said to her with a smile. "Girl, I'm not such a stolen official, these gold ingots were also found here."

Xiao Shi looked at the gold ingot, and suddenly his face turned pale and lost his blood. A cold sweat flowed down his sideburns and temples.

Just for a moment, she regained her composure. "Since the eldest lord doesn't look down on these, the little woman is willing to make a promise with her body, and only wishes to return her husband's soul to peace."

As she spoke, her soft body rubbed hard against the county commander's chest. Her beautiful face and slender posture were teasing.

The county magistrate blushed, waved his hands, and said helplessly. "Girl, this official is not talented, and he is also a person who has read many sage books, don't be like this."

He stepped back directly, as if he had stepped on something hard on his foot, squeaked, twisted his neck, and fell to the ground.

It turned out to be a stone underneath, and when the stone was kicked away, a hole was revealed. The hollowness is just the thickness of a person's waist.

The county magistrate looked over there and said. "It turns out that there is a cellar, hurry up and call someone, dig up here, maybe there will be some clues."

Xiao Shi looked over there, trembling all over. "That's my husband's family, even the little girl, I don't know how many, adults, be merciful."

The officials tossed and turned for a long time before digging the cellar. There are many jars piled up inside, and on top of them are piles of dead wood and branches, stacked on top of each other.

The county magistrate stepped forward directly, stretched out his hand, and flicked it vigorously. Inside the jar, there was a heavy muffled sound. "It's not a branch down there."

It took a lot of effort for those officials to remove those jars. I finally threw off the branches, and there was a golden glow inside.

It turned out that the jar was full of gold ingots. The county commander stretched out his hand and held the gold ingot. He opened his mouth again and took a big bite.

"It's really real gold, I didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so rich." Xiao fell to his knees, kowtowing vigorously. "I just want justice from adults."

The county commander thought about it, but he couldn't figure out how the gold came from. "Girl, we won't be greedy for your gold, this official has gone back to investigate the case."

The officials found nothing, and walked out of the courtyard gate of the shop together. Liu Yichen and them, looking at the gate in the distance, Xiao's face was full of disgust.

Song Zhiyao pulled Liu Yichen's body and whispered. "Xianggong, hurry up and go to the county government to ask." They drove the carriage and rushed to the county office.

A few people walked through the gate, and the county magistrate turned sideways to welcome them in. "Guys, go in first, take a step to speak, and don't let anyone know."

Together, they walked into a secluded house, and the county magistrate whispered. "Brother Huang, the little one didn't see anything else, but there was a lot of gold in the cellar."
