Chapter Seventy-One: Peers Are Enemies

Yesterday it rained heavily, and the roads were muddy and difficult to navigate, and if someone stole the tax money, it would definitely leave traces.

Zhou Zuo led people to carefully investigate the surroundings of the ancient temple, but could not find clues such as footprints everywhere, and in desperation, Zhou Zuo had to return and report to the governor.

The governor thought he was lying and wanted to punish him. When the officers and soldiers were interrogated, they were all in the same voice. The governor ordered the governor to go back to the ancient temple to find out.

Zhou Zuo returned to the ancient temple and saw a blind man in front of the temple, with a white face and a mouse face, and his appearance was very strange.

As he walked forward, the blind man smiled and said, "I can know what is in my heart, and I will not receive a penny if I make a mistake." ”

As soon as he lost the tax money, a mysterious blind man came, Zhou Zuo was slightly suspicious, and stepped forward and said: "You blind man, count a hexagram for this official to see if you are spiritual." ”

The blind man said lightly: "You must be for the loss of silver." ”

Zhou Zuo was even more suspicious of the blind man in his heart, and replied: "Yes, how do you know? ”

The blind man said, "Find a sedan chair and follow me, and you will know when the time comes." ”

When Zhou Zuo heard this, he hesitated for a moment in his heart, found a sedan chair to carry the blind man, and followed him with the messengers.

First to the east, then to the north, for five hours in a row, when everyone was sleepy and tired, the blind man led the way into a deep mountain.

After walking for a short time, I suddenly saw a city, the streets were full of traffic, and the pedestrians were endless.

After entering the city, he walked for a while, and the blind man suddenly said, "Stop! ”

After that, he got down from the sedan chair, pointed to the south with his hand, and said, "Go forward, and see a gate that opens to the west, so you knock on the door and ask, and you will naturally know." After saying that, the arched hand disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Zhou Zuo looked at the place where the blind man disappeared, and couldn't help but gasp, and according to what the blind man said, he walked forward again, and sure enough, he saw a gate.

Inside the door is a garden, in which tall ancient pines shade the sky and the ground is covered with fine grass. After passing through several gallery pavilions and meeting a high pavilion, Zhou Zuo walked up the stone steps and walked in.

When I entered the door, I saw a few human skins hanging on the wall, and the facial features on my face were not lacking, and the smell was smoky.

Zhou Zuo looked creepy, and thought that he had come to the skinning hell, so he was so frightened that he sweated all over, and hurriedly exited the pavilion.

At this time, a man in simple clothes walked in from outside the door and asked, "Who are you, dare to trespass on the palace!" ”

Zhou Zuo was frightened by the human skin in the pavilion, and hurriedly told the story of the loss of tax silver.

After hearing this, this man took Zhou Zuo out of the garden, and after a while, he came to a gate, which was very much like the official yamen, with many soaps arranged on both sides, and the atmosphere was very majestic.

The man led Zhou Zuo in, and entered another gate, and saw a king wearing a crown of beads and a royal robe, sitting facing south.

Zhou Zuo hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to greet him.

The king glanced down at Zhou Zuo and asked majestically, "Are you the escort officer of the governor of Huguang?" ”

Zhou Zuotou didn't dare to raise his head and said, "It's Xia Guan." ”

The king said in a cold tone: "The silver is all here, and it is not impossible for your governor to give me such a small thing." ”

Zhou Zuo hurriedly cried and complained: "The governor gave me a death order, and if I can't hand over the money when I go back, the villain will be executed." The king left the money, and when I returned, I had no evidence, so how could I explain it to the governor? ”

The king sneered: "It's not difficult. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a large envelope from the case and handed it to Zhou Zuo.

"Take this back and report it to the governor, but you will be fine!"

Under his majestic bearing, Zhou Zuo was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, where did he dare to say anything more, so he had to take the letter, withdraw from the yamen with a miserable face, and return the same way.

After Zhou Zuo left, the king's eyes looked behind the door, and said lightly: "After the play is over, it's time to come out." ”

A head floating in the air floated out high and low, and it was Zhang Xiu who had performed the stealth technique.

Zhang Xiu looked surprised and said, "How did you see through my stealth technique?" ”

The king's cheeks twitched, and he said in his heart that I still haven't seen that you are using invisibility, and then said: "The shadow of your head is reflected on the doors and windows. ”

Zhang Xiu suddenly realized, then changed his words, and said with a smile: "600,000 taels of silver, you said to take it, and you didn't say to leave some for me." ”

The king was stunned for a moment, and said with a strange expression: "You are here to share the silver with me?" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded slightly: "I'm not greedy, let's divide this silver into thirty-seven!" ”

The king sneered: "Then who takes three, who takes seven?" ”

Zhang Xiudao: "Of course, you take three, Ao Xue takes seven, and the remaining 599,990 taels belong to me!" ”

After a white light, Ao Xue's eyes lit up: "I am Ao Xue!" ”

King: "@#¥%¥#@......"

You're too dark, aren't you?

After a period of confusion, the king slowly spoke: "The governor of Huguang is a corrupt official, he started as a small county magistrate, and greedily accepted bribes, and the stolen silver was countless.

A few days ago, while he was sleeping with a concubine, I shaved their heads bald. The large envelope that Zhou Zuo brought back contained the hair of the governor and his concubine.

There was also a letter in the envelope, in which I asked him to make up 600,000 taels of tax silver out of his own pocket, and warned him that if he did not obey the order, he would go and take his head sooner or later, and attach his hair as proof! ”

Zhang Xiu sighed after hearing this, and then said with a puzzled face: "But what does this have to do with me, I'm just here to share the silver?" ”

"......" The corners of the king's eyes jumped slightly.

Originally, he thought that he had met a nosy person and wanted to recover the tax money for the imperial court, but he never expected it...... This person is actually a person who wants to eat black!

Looking at Zhang Xiu's fearless appearance, the king's eyes lit up, and a black gas rose from his body, and he boiled murderously: "Don't forget to tell the king of Hades when you go to the underworld, the person who killed you is my Tianfeng King!" lest you die and become a fool! ”

Zhang Xiu was not afraid, his chest straightened, and he reported to his family: "The first beautiful man in the lower three realms, the great benevolent Zhang Xiu!" ”

The Heavenly Wind King was slightly stunned, and the black qi on his body stopped expanding: "Are you Zhang Xiu?" Then why are you embarrassed for me, as far as I know, you also hate corrupt officials very much, and you have copied the homes of many corrupt officials!

I punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, if you don't help me, forget it, why do you still ask me for dirty silver? ”

Zhang Xiu frowned, and his face was embarrassed: "You waited for me to make up a reason, maybe it's because ...... Is a peer an enemy? ”

Celestial Wind King: "......"

It's really just made up!

Zhang Xiu looked at his messy expression and said with a smile: "Over the years, I have obtained more than 90 million taels of silver, and I have not spent a penny of this money, and all of it has been returned to the people." ”

"But you, just to build this palace, you have to spend a lot of silver, right?"

"This ......"

The Heavenly Wind King looked at Zhang Xiu for a while, and suddenly felt that this Zhang Xiu in front of him seemed to be very different from the legendary Heavenly Demon who burned, killed and looted, but it was more in line with his other nickname-

Holy Teacher!
