"I'll go and inform the proprietor."

The master was taken aback after listening to the reminder.

He has been floating in officialdom for many years, and the subtext in Liu Zhutou's words does not need to be said, and he understands it very well in his heart.

This matter has developed so far, and it has gradually gotten out of control, especially in cases involving more than a dozen human lives, which can no longer be covered up by one person.

Unless......

After the master left, the remaining four people got together again and continued to talk about Wutang Village.

After Liu Zhutou made a reckless speech just now, he seemed to have noticed something, and he would directly keep silent, but Zhiqiu Yiye behaved with grief and indignation.

Although the beggar is a competitor with him, he is also a fellow believer, and it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will die.

What's more, this Wutang Village should have been his go.

Now that I heard that the other party ended up like this, I felt a little empathetic, and it was not a good feeling all over my body.

"Brother Cao, no matter what the position of the government is in this matter, I will also investigate it to the end, what does Brother Cao think......"

Zhiqiu Yiye glanced at Cao Jun, who was silent, and deliberately tested him with words.

How could Cao Jun not know the other party's intentions, he just arched his hand and replied categorically, "Go together!" ”

In the face of major rights and wrongs, Cao Jun's ass is never crooked.

After the master returned to the county office, he heard that the county did not have an office, so he hurried to the backyard.

Finally, I met my proprietor in the study.

"Proprietor, do you know that something big has happened in Wutang Village."

The master just met and asked with a face, after asking, he saw that the other party's face was not red and his heart was not beating, the old god was sitting behind the table and drinking tea, and he suddenly felt abnormal in his heart, and when his mood calmed down, he called tentatively, "The proprietor ......"

"The Wutang Village case is all caused by water reckless ghosts, don't investigate it here, and the autumn hunting operation will be terminated." Zhixian took another sip of tea, and then slowly put down the teacup.

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and after weighing it, he finally chose to compromise.

This statement surprised the master.

He has followed this proprietor for many years, although the other party is a little greedy for money, but his determination to seek progress is very resolute, especially when it comes to the safety of people's livelihood, he is rarely ambiguous, and he can be regarded as a good official who asks for the people's life.

The prosperity of Qinghe County is also closely related to the silent work of this number one.

And at this time, it is a critical time for the year of Dabi.

Unless something unexpected happened that he couldn't think of for a while.

The magistrate and the master have been together for many years, and they know each other well, he saw that the master suddenly put away his words, squinted his eyes and stood in place and began to ponder, and he didn't bother to let the other party continue to figure it out.

Swish!

Zhixian got up and lifted a red cloth directly from the coffee table next to the table.

A burst of silver glitter filled the room.

I saw that it was full of ingots.

A cursory sweep is no less than a thousand taels.

Master's breathing couldn't help but become thicker.

"This is a few days ago Wutang Village Xu Yuan sent someone to send it, in addition to several adjutant officials of the county government, if I don't accept it, it is to isolate myself from my colleagues, from the temple, if they join hands to make some movements, I can't resist the county, I can only close my eyes, out of sight is pure, alas......"

The magistrate didn't come, and suddenly let out a sigh.

Master's squinted eyes also opened.

The places that I couldn't figure out before suddenly became clear, and the perspective became clearer.

He pondered for a moment, stroked the beard under his forehead, and quickly entered the role of the master, "Then Cao Xiong also died in Wutang Village, he is the younger brother of the county concubine, and he doesn't care anymore?" ”

"The younger brother of a concubine, compared to his own future and wealth, it is not worth mentioning, I believe he is also an understanding person."

The master asked again, "What about the demon slayer and labor that I invited before?" ”

"The autumn hunting operation is over, the reward of 200 taels of silver has been divided among them, as for the others, warn them not to leak any rumors, if anyone doesn't listen, I can not pursue it, and the people of Wutang Village will definitely not let them go."

"Save!"

The master nodded, only as a tacit agreement.

Now, the future of the proprietor ranks first, and he can only endure a little dirty and unhappy.

Officialdom is a discipline of mutual compromise.

If Hai Rui Hai Qingtian is still alive and still adheres to his usual maverick style, I am afraid that he will also be reduced to a lonely person, and it will be difficult to move an inch in the end.

Half a day later, Cao Jun and Zhiqiu Yiye, who were waiting outside the city, received the latest notice from the county government that the autumn hunting operation was canceled, and everyone was a little caught off guard for a while.

Liu Zhutou took the lead in sighing, as if he had expected this step.

He bowed his hand to several other people apologetically, "Serving other people's jobs, being managed by others, being in the public gate, being involuntarily, the two masters, it is difficult to disobey the order, so you can only take one step first." ”

Before Cao Jun and Zhiqiu Yiye could speak, Zhou Fugui, who was sitting on the side, took the lead in revealing his abnormality.

He suddenly slapped the table, and the old face that was originally full of energy suddenly collapsed, and finally squatted on the ground and cried.

Liu Zhutou didn't want to stay here longer, and he didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour, so he turned around and left directly.

The catchers and laborers gathered outside also received the latest news from the county government, and they packed their luggage noisily, and the previously lively yard instantly became cold.

Zhiqiu Yiye's square face had become iron-blue, and when he saw that those who should go and those who shouldn't have left, they were all gone, and he couldn't help but jump to his feet and scold, "What kind of bullshit knows the county, the order is changed every day, and the safety of the people under his rule is ignored, I think he is also a dog official who is greedy for money, and he is angry with me." ”

After Zhiqiu Yiye scolded a few words, he returned to his seat sullenly, and sulked with a calm face.

At this moment, a man from the courtyard rushed in, he bent over and carried a tray, quickly rested on the table in the hall, and then lifted the red cloth on it, revealing a neatly arranged layer of small silver ingots.

The 200 taels of reward money promised to them by the county government before was in place at this time, and there was no less than half a point.

Zhiqiu Yiye's face suddenly became very exciting.

He rolled his eyes, strode to the table, grabbed a silver ingot, and stuffed it into his arms.

Stuffed half of it in a row, and then I was embarrassed to stop.

"Brother Cao, this is half of my reward, and the remaining half belongs to you."

Cao Jun glanced at the silver ingots on the table, and then looked at Zhou Fugui, who was lying on the side and half of his spirits were discouraged, he took out two of his silver ingots, about 10 taels, and generously stuffed them into the other party's hands.

At the same time, he comforted with empathy: "Master Zhou, the second child of your family, I'm afraid it's long gone, please mourn, this time I won't let you work in vain." ”

Zhou Fugui wiped a handful of tears, hesitated and reluctantly took the silver, and there was some brightness in his eyes.

He quickly cleaned up his mood, and sighed with sadness in his helplessness: "I also know that my second child was poisoned, but that Wutang Village is full of evil, and if it is not eliminated in one day, I don't know how many people in Qinghe County have suffered, alas! It's all to blame for this dog-day society, and the ...... of a bad life"

Cao Jun also accepted the remaining 80 taels of silver.

He was vaguely aware of the changes in the county office, and at the same time, a trace of realization rose in his heart.

This matter should not be over yet.

Sure enough, after another half a day, when it was about to get dark, another figure came in the small courtyard, and I saw this person dressed in coarse linen and a peasant's dress, but he looked very familiar.

The man bowed to Cao Jun and said: "Master Cao, the villain Li Xin, on the order of Liu Zhutou, came to the master's subordinates to listen to it, the villain is good at reconnaissance, and can find clues from the clues, and the next actions of the two masters must be useful to the villain." ”

The doubts in Cao Jun's heart were suddenly half solved.

He asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that the magistrate will blame you when he finds out?" ”

Li Xin smiled slyly: "The villain is on vacation now, and he doesn't know what the autumn hunting operation is, but he just passed through the enthusiastic people who kindly provided clues all the way, what is Master Cao talking about?" Why can't I understand? ”

"Haha......"

This Liu Zhutou and his subordinate Li Xin are a pair of wonderful people.

Zhiqiu Yiye on the other side swept away his previous anger, also changed his tone, and began to rub his hands impatiently, "Brother Cao, my generation is a cultivator, it is my duty to kill demons and eliminate demons, this Wutang Village has become a scourge, I must go, what bullshit autumn hunting activities did I participate in before, it was to seek wealth, this time it was out of righteous indignation, even if it was free, I did it." ”

After accepting the 100 taels of silver from the county government, Zhiqiu Yiye also had the courage to insist on going to Wutang Village, purely out of the duty of cultivating people to kill demons and eliminate demons.

The tide suddenly reversed, and several people became excited again.

Only Zhou Fugui was still standing aside, still unable to figure it out.

Why is it that in less than half a day, the development of things is always unexpected.
