The county magistrate did not slaughter these surrendered people, but selected some of the stronger ones as officials, and he let the rest go. Zhu Tongyu's house was ransacked, and most of the property in it was called "confiscated", and some of it was privately divided by the officials, and the county order also turned a blind eye.

Zhu Tongyu's family has countless treasures, it seems that they have robbed others over the years, and they have done a lot of evil, and it is not a pity to die. Zhu Tongyu's old father should have been overly frightened, fainted in bed, and woke up all the time, and the county order was quite merciful, and ordered someone to send him to the local "foster home".

Zhu Tongyu's cellar not only has a collection of treasures like a hill, but also a lot of wine, including some of the best wines, I swept over at a glance, saw a very familiar bottle of wine, I opened the stopper and smelled it, this is the wine that the county ordered and I drank that night, presumably the bottle was also given by Zhu Tongyu. I hid the bottle in my bosom while they weren't looking, and to be honest, I don't know why.

When I returned to the county office, the sky and the earth were dusk, everything was hazy, and I left the team, "Where is He Bing Cao?" Lao Li asked.

"Drink!" I replied.

"It's getting late, He Bingcao will come back early." The prefectural order said.

I didn't pay any attention to it and went straight to the "Guangxing" wine shop.

There are still a lot of people in the liquor store. Seeing me, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted: "Yo, benefactor, what wind blew you here?" I didn't have time to thank you for what happened last time, and those officials really didn't come to harass me. The benefactor invited you over that day, and he didn't embarrass you, right? ”

"No, I was made a soldier alive or dead." I shook my head helplessly, "It's just for me to train those officials for him, improve the combat effectiveness of the yamen, and make it easier for him to rob openly and secretly." ”

"What does the benefactor mean by this?" The shopkeeper asked.

I waved my hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, serve the wine." ”

"Okay! We got some good wine a little earlier, and I'll serve it to you. The shopkeeper greeted me courteously.

"Isn't this He Bingcao? How to drop? Is the county still short of alcohol? There's a lot of good wine there! Or is the county order too stingy with you? ”

I looked up and saw that it was Zhao Li who spoke, "Why are you here?" I asked.

"Isn't it thanks to He Bingcao? After being dismissed by the surnamed Feng, I came here to do chores and serve you masters! ”

I said apologetically: "I really didn't mean to snatch your position as a soldier, but the person surnamed Feng was willing to help me find someone unless I wanted to ban your position, and I couldn't help it." ”

Zhao Li sneered, "This surnamed Feng has already made a plan in his heart, and I have no effect on him anymore, in fact, we are all his pawns, and we can't resist if he sets the plate." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Li looked around, "Let's find a small room, and I'll talk to you in detail." ”

The shopkeeper happened to come over with a pot of wine, "Shopkeeper, I have something to talk to Mr. Zhao, I don't know if you can allow me to occupy Mr. Zhao's time, it's best to take us to the small room inside." I said.

"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper readily agreed, and led us to a private room.

I poured two glasses of wine," Mr. Zhao said, please tell me more. ”

Zhao Li took a sip of wine and slowly spoke: "This surnamed Feng has long intersected with Zhu Tongyu, otherwise why would Zhu Tongyu have done so many unconscionable things without being punished?" It was because every time Zhu Tongyu grabbed a treasure, he would send someone to give half of it to the surname Feng. The surname Feng pretends to be an approachable and good county magistrate on the surface, but in fact, his heart is worse than anyone else, and sometimes when bad things are exposed, he tries his best to frame them for others.

Once Zhu Tongyu ransacked a lonely big family, I heard that a peerless treasure jade was found from it, and it was not given to the surname Feng, the surname Feng began to plan from that time, he wanted to eradicate Zhu Tongyu and get the peerless treasure jade. ”

"We will crusade against Zhu Tongyu and his people today." I say.

"I knew there was such a day." Zhao Li took another sip of wine, "Do you know why he asked you to take my place?" ”

"Why?"

"One day he inadvertently revealed this plan, I happened to hear it, although Zhu Tongyu and his gang are also bastards, but I don't want to play for the tiger, so I don't train those servants all day."

I continued his words and said, "So he desperately wants me to take your place and train those officials, just to prepare for today's crusade against Zhu Tongyu?" ”

"Yes!"

"It turns out that I invisibly became a pawn on his chessboard." I feel very uncomfortable, I've been kept in the dark for more than two years, this damn Feng Fatty!

I got up to leave, "Don't be impulsive! You don't have power or power in Ailing, you can't do this surnamed Feng, you just pretend to be lazy, and when he thinks you are useless, he will find someone to ban your position. Zhao Li said.

I returned to the yamen, came to the door of the prefectural order, and knocked on the door a few times.

"Who?" The prefectural order asked.

"Me." I replied.

"It's He Bingcao, is there anything wrong with you? Wait a minute. I heard the crisp sound of jewels colliding inside, and after a moment, "Come in." He said.

I pushed open the door and took out the wine I had taken at Zhu Tongyu's house from my arms, "I have a bottle of good wine that I want to drink with the county order." ”

The county commander glanced at it, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, and said to me calmly: "Haven't you drunk enough?" ”

"I didn't drink enough with the county order!" I sneered.

"Okay! Drink with you. ”

He took out two glasses and filled them with wine, and raised them to me, but I didn't pay any attention to him, and I didn't even look at him. I craned my neck and poured the whole glass of wine into my mouth, and the wine ran down my throat, filling my entire nostrils with a sweet, mellow taste.

"Today's eradication of Zhu Tongyu, the bully, is thanks to He Bingcao." The county magistrate smiled at me.

"I didn't play much of a role, but the county order is a good move!" I sneered.

"What are you talking about?"

"The county order planned two years ago to disturb Zhu Tongyu's lair."

"I've wanted to serve this kind of bully for a long time, but I don't have enough strength to do it, thanks to He Bingcao's training, and the good idea of fire attack."

I turned my head and glared at him, "How long do you want to pretend?" ”

"I don't know where He Bingcao heard some rumors about me, and I don't know what you mean." The county magistrate pretended to think about something, "Oh, what that Gongsun Han and Zhu Tongyu said today would be distributed to me every time they robbed the treasure, this is all!" I didn't go along with them, and if that were, I wouldn't be going to crusade against him today. ”

"Because of a peerless jade." I said indignantly, "What an ugly face you are when you pretend to be a good county magistrate who is close to the people, and take off your mask of hypocrisy!" You have a dirty affair with Zhu Tongyu and his gang behind your back, and after you get the benefits, you favor him, and this time you killed Zhu Tongyu because of a peerless treasure jade. I have been deceived by you for more than two years, and the entire people of Ailing have been kept in the dark by you. ”

"He Bingcao, are you drunk?" The county magistrate shouted, "Someone! He Bingcao drank too much and helped him back to his room to rest. ”

I waved my hand, "I'm not drunk, don't digress." Two years ago, you planned to eradicate Zhu Tongyu, your game of chess is big enough, and I have always been a chess piece written by you. ”

"What is He Bingcao talking about? I just saw that you were superb in martial arts, so I wanted you to help me train the officials, didn't I tell you? Sooner or later, I will have to eradicate Zhu Tongyu's gang of robbers. The county commander nodded, "Yes, that night, we drank this kind of wine, and the two of us exchanged secrets with each other, He Bingcao, you forgot?" ”

"You didn't say you had anything to do with them! I didn't know you were such a dirty person! ”

"What bullshit? I'm an official, they're bandits, and they're incompatible! ”

"I took this wine in the cellar in Zhu Tongyu's house, and this sword, how can you explain it?" I took out the sword he had given me earlier and threw it on the ground, "I am not used to using this sword. ”

"Who would have thought that these bastards would even dare to rob my friend's house!" The county magistrate pretended to be angry and said, "I also avenged my friend today." ”

I slammed the glass to the ground and said angrily, "I'm not doing this bad job anymore!" I'm not going to use you as a pawn! With that, I pushed the door open and was about to go outside.

"You're gone, what about your sister? You came all the way here to find her, and now you're leaving her? ”

I clenched my fists, walked back and glared at him angrily, "Don't use my sister as a shield, I have already helped you eradicate Zhu Tongyu and fulfill your wish, what else do you want?" ”

The fat man in front of me made me sick, and I really wanted to punch him in the ugly face. I really don't know how he became the commander of a county, with his virtue, he must have gone through the back door, disguised seamlessly, and played with the entire people of Ailing between applause. Despicable, shameless, and indecent, all the filthy words in this world cannot describe his treacherous character.

"Then I won't hide it from you, that's right, I just colluded with Zhu Tongyu, and I killed him because I fell in love with a peerless jade, so I might as well show you." He took out a piece of beautiful jade from his bosom and shone brightly, "Look how beautiful he is!" It is rumored that the Yellow Emperor's mount Ying Long was killed by Chi You's tiger sword, and this Ying Long's eyeballs fell into the world, and after accumulation of time, it became this peerless jade. I don't know where the other piece is. ”

I didn't have the heart to look at this treasure jade, "How on earth are you willing to let me and my sister go?" ”

"He Bingcao knows so many secrets about me, so let you go so easily, won't it ruin my own reputation and cut off my own back road?"

"I'm never going to tell anyone about you because I feel disgusting."

"That's not going to work, I'm not at ease. It stands to reason that I should have killed him, but I am reluctant to kill He Bingcao! He smirked, "I want to take another man's life in a while." ”

"I'm not going to kill for you anymore!"

"If you kill that person, I'll let you and your sister go, how about it? That's a good deal, right? ”
