"Haven't slept all night?" Li Zhang went out of the room in the morning, and when he saw the wild dogs guarding outside, he couldn't help but sigh and said, since he exterminated the ghost beggar, but did not find the body of Shui Yuanzi, the wild dogs have been worried about the other party's revenge, so they will keep vigil in the yard every night during this time.

"It's okay, it's the same to sleep during the day, the ghost beggar is his inheritance, but now it has been ruined by us, with his temper, he will definitely take revenge on us by any means!" At this time, the wild dog inserted the short knife in his hand back into the scabbard at his waist and said, although he left that person at a very young age, he had an extremely deep understanding of that person, and it can be said that that person is the biggest shadow in his life.

"According to our original guess, that person is likely to be Mizumotoko, judging by his age, maybe he has already died, so it's normal that we can't find his body." Li Zhang spoke again at this time and comforted.

"No way, my instincts tell me that he must still be alive and has noticed me even before, otherwise he wouldn't have approached me several times." The wild dog shook his head and said very firmly, he was just one of the sons of that person, and as far as he knew, there should be many sons of that person, he was not conspicuous among them, but three people had found him before, which was really a little abnormal.

Seeing the wild dog's tense appearance, Li Zhang couldn't help sighing, and then patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't think too much, anyway, the ghost beggars are almost dead, even if there are fish that slip through the net, it won't become a big climate, and there is a special nursing home in the house, so don't be too tired." ”

In the past, there were only three people in the nursing home, namely the old knife, the blind and the lame, but now with more and more people in the family, more than a dozen nursing homes have been recruited, and even a few vicious dogs have been raised in the front yard.

"Well, I'll take notice." The wild dog seemed to want to say something when he heard Li Zhang's words, but finally nodded and said, in fact, the reason why he practiced martial arts desperately was mainly because the shadow left by that person in his heart was too big, even with his current skills, he was not absolutely sure that he would win against that person, which was also the main reason why he kept urging himself.

In fact, Li Zhang also knew that the disappeared Shui Yuanzi was indeed a threat, so he also tried to go out as little as possible during this time, even if he went out, he would bring wild dogs and old knives and others, and the pistol would never leave him, as long as that Shui Yuanzi dared to come, he would definitely be called back.

However, what Li Zhang and Wild Dog didn't expect was that after the extermination of the ghost beggar, that Shui Yuanzi never appeared, and no wild dog's brother came to him to duel, and it seemed that all of them disappeared with the extermination of the ghost beggar.

At first, Li Zhang didn't dare to relax his vigilance, but as time went by, he slowly returned to his normal life, after all, there was no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and Shui Yuanzi never appeared, which made him suspect that the other party might really be dead.

It is also worth mentioning that not long after the extermination of the ghost beggars, Liu E rewarded Li Zhang again, this time he did not promote the actual position, but promoted the cavalry captain to one level and promoted him to the upper cavalry captain, just one more word, but the grade reached the positive fifth grade, and he received such a reward at his age, which is very rare in the Great Song Dynasty.

The fall of the ghost beggars also caused a sensation in the capital, no matter how many people in the capital praised Liu E's merits, it can be said that Liu E's reputation among the people has also reached a peak, and those ghost beggars corpses that were displayed were spurned by countless people, and even some people cut off the flesh on the corpses of ghost beggars and swallowed them with hatred, so we can see how hated the ghost beggars are among the people, after all, the whole capital does not know how many people are ruined because of ghost beggars.

But the capital is the capital after all, even the extremely hot topic of ghost beggars has slowly fallen silent after two months, and now only a few people occasionally mention the news related to ghost beggars, and the underground pits in the capital are finally safe, at least there is no need to worry about the ghost beggars suddenly coming out of it and snatching people away.

It was also during this period of time that the branch of the money bank in the capital was also opened, this time it was opened in the east of the city, because of the foundation laid by the money bank, so the opening of the branch was also very smooth, and the customers who came to deposit and exchange were also endless, and the branch undertook part of the business, so that the head office was not as crowded as before, and even needed to buy tickets at a high price.

At the same time, the opening of the branch also marks the money bank to further devour part of the banknote business in the capital, after all, it was because of the limited business capacity of the money bank in the past, so that some politeness was lost, and the branch increased the deposit and exchange capacity of the money bank, and compared with those Jiaozi shops that are too small, the money bank with deep wealth is undoubtedly more trusted, which is the winner in the shopping mall.

It can be said that in this case, it is expected that the money bank monopolizes the paper money business in the entire capital, and some of the remaining Jiaozi shops are also struggling to survive, and some decisive people even directly negotiate with Huozi and them, and buy the Jiaozi shops under their own names directly to the money bank, after all, they also have some customers in their hands, and Huozi They also began to discuss with Li Zhang the detailed plan to set up a branch in Luoyang and others.

On this day, Li Zhang got up early as usual, but he didn't go to Qianxing, but went straight to the imperial city, but he didn't go to see Liu E or Zhao Zhen, but came to his temporary Shaofu Supervisor.

After Li Zhang came to the Shaofu Prison, he went straight to his official room to take a look, it was very clean, and it seemed that someone often cleaned it, which made him nod with satisfaction, and then walked around, but the other officials in the prison were stunned when they saw him, and some people thought for a long time before remembering Li Zhang's identity, but this also made them even more puzzled, after all, Li Zhang was just an idler on a temporary post, how could he suddenly appear here?

Li Zhang didn't bother to pay attention to other people, he actually came to find the young official Zhang Lang who greeted him last time, although he had only seen the other party once, but he felt that the other party was not bad, just he had a chance to get ahead here, it depended on whether this Zhang Lang could seize it?

However, Li Zhang looked for a while in the Shaofu Prison, but he still didn't see Zhang Lang's shadow, and he couldn't help frowning at the moment, so he pulled a small official and asked, and then under the guidance of the other party, he went to a business room in the corner of the Shaofu Prison, and then saw the gray-faced Zhang Lang in a pile of books.
