It's evening again, this is often the most lively day of the day for Ma Zhongguo, usually at this time, he will Shi Shiran take off his official robe, first go to the chief shopkeeper of Wanqin Qianzhuang to say a few words, and then the chief shopkeeper will leave with interest, and his subordinates will lead the county commander to a secret hut, there is nothing in the house except a big bed, there will always be a woman who is not the same every day on the big bed, with different appearances, figures, and conversations, the only thing they have in common is the intoxicating charm... … After tidying up, Ma Zhongguo would leave the hut in good spirits, and then take his cronies around to make a tour to teach more people to see him, and then when night fell, he would return home alone, and in the face of the tigress's questioning, he spread his hands:

"Madame, as a parent official in a county, I am naturally very busy with official duties......

"Nonsense, how can you be busy with so many official duties?"

"Madame's words are not right - I first asked the chief shopkeeper of Wanqin Qianzhuang to negotiate the debt, you also know, our Zhijiang County's finances have been tight recently, if we want to develop the economy and let the people live a good life, we have to rely on these big businessmen to open shops and collect taxes, and many financial deficits, we have to borrow money from them to make up for it, otherwise the entire Zhijiang will not be in chaos?"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true," Ma Zhongguo's eyes widened:

"When I was talking to the chief treasurer, the subordinates in the yamen and the guys in their money bank saw it, how could it be fake?" Madame snorted:

"Okay...... Then forgive you, but even if you talk about things, you can't be so late, the food at home is cold, you dead ghost, I don't know how hard I waited for you at home......" Ma Zhongguo smiled and put his hand on his wife's shoulder:

"I'm sorry madam, I resigned from the chief shopkeeper early today, and I originally wanted to go home to accompany you, but, but...... Alas. Madame looked up:

"But what, why don't you go on." Ma Zhongguo said:

"But the life of our people in Zhijiang seems to be getting worse and worse recently, I changed into regular clothes and looked around, many of the bluestone slabs on the street have been stolen, and the paint on the Longjin Bridge has not been brushed for several years, and I have seen a lot of poor people with vegetables, really, really...... Alas, I'm really not a competent county magistrate, I'm ......" A hand reached over and gently covered his mouth, Ma Zhongguo's words were interrupted by Madame, he hung his head reproachfully, but Madame stuck it up like a cat:

"Don't say that, Zhongguo, in my heart, you are the most upright man in the world, like you, the parent official who puts the people first in everything, is not only the hero of Zhijiang, but also the hero in my heart, I am proud of you from the bottom of my heart......" Ma Zhongguo patted his wife's back with a bitter face:

"But people outside scolded me and made it difficult for me, and even many people scolded me behind my back......"

"Who dares to say that about you! The old lady tore his mouth. Madame was furious:

"A good person like you is called a dog official, so Da Qin doesn't have a good official! If that's the case, the court might as well collapse earlier......"

"Eh, eh," Ma Zhongguo hurriedly covered his wife's mouth:

"Madame, this is a topic that cannot be touched...... Be cautious. Madame's anger decreased slightly, buried her face in Ma Zhongguo's arms, and said in a low voice:

"No matter what, I believe in you."

"If a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for." Ma Zhongguo echoed. The lady in her arms suddenly shook, raised her head, and stared at Ma Zhongguo, Ma Zhongguo's heart jumped, but he still pretended to be calm and said:

"What's the matter, ma'am?" Madame's face was full of suspicion, she lowered her head and sniffed on Ma Zhongguo's chest, grabbed Ma Zhongguo's collar, and asked:

"Where's the scent!"

"It's a pity that I still didn't hide it from you......" Ma Zhongguo smiled, but was grabbed by his wife and pulled by his collar:

"Give me a reasonable explanation!" Ma Zhongguo reached into his arms, took out a bottle of perfume, and said with a smile:

"Passing by a shop, I brought you a gift, I wanted to give it to you at dinner, but unfortunately I spilled a lot of it when I tried the fragrance, but you smelled it in advance." Madame's mouth was wide open, and her eyes were red:

"Zhongguo, you, you ......" Ma Zhongguo took his wife's hand and stuffed the perfume into it:

"Hurry up, it will be fragrant every day in the future, this is my good lady." Madame bit her lower lip and said with a crying voice:

"Zhongguo, you rarely give me a gift, I must cherish it, and I will only spray a little during the Spring Festival and birthday in the future, and I will use it until I am eighty years old...... Zhongguo, I really want to have another child for you, the fourth child, do you want a daughter or a son? ”

"I like to have both boys and girls." Ma Zhongguo smiled slightly. Madame's face flushed slightly, then she stood up and said:

"Zhongguo, you wait well, I'll bring the dishes over and serve you." Madame's excited back left the room, Ma Zhongguo smiled contemptuously, and said in a low voice:

"The broken perfume that the bitch of Xiaoxiang Pavilion threw on the bed and didn't bother to pick it up, but you brute woman likes to be like this, what a stupid woman." ………… Recalling the happy days after every evening before, Ma Zhongguo couldn't help but sigh:

"Qin Lin, Qin Lin...... You lords who are calling for wind and rain everywhere in the whole of Daqin, why bother to embarrass my little county commander? Then he got up and beckoned to the master:

"Let's go, go to the inn." The master was puzzled:

"Inn, what are you going to do there?"

"Please." Ma Zhongguo firmly remembered every word Jiang Xiaoshu said - first, Jiang Yue helped Zhijiang rudder was destroyed, and Zhijiang City was shaken, and the situation was stabilized and the people were appeased in the fastest time; Second, protect the parents of the little fish.

The first Ma Zhongguo has already done it, and now on the streets of Zhijiang, there are tall officials patrolling around at any time, not to mention what you want to do to gather people to fight, kill people and set fires, even if you steal a money bag, you will be immediately pushed down and sent to the government.

In the past two days, Zhijiang City is really not closed at night, the road is not forgotten, if the first time the traveler here sees this scene, I am afraid that after going back, I will tell all friends:

"Zhijiang is definitely the best place for public security in the entire Great Qin." After the first article was completed, Ma Zhongguo was still worried in his heart:

"Is there something that hasn't been done? Will the common people complain? After Jiang Xiaoshu came back and saw it, would he think that I was ineffective and unwilling to intercede for me? No, no, there is something else to do. But in the past two days, the subordinate officials of the county government have already been mobilized one by one, not to mention going home to rest, and even the time for a temporary rest has been compressed to less than two hours, but Ma Zhongguo is still not satisfied, and keeps urging them to do it:

"What do you mean it's okay, everything is in order? Don't you see so many people on the streets? What if it's a murderer? Anyone who brought a knife was given to me one by one for interrogation, and immediately, to go and ......" When this harsh request was completed, the officials came back to report, but they received new instructions from the county magistrate:

"What do you do? People with martial arts can hurt others without using a knife, and if any of the people are injured by mistake, wouldn't it be very bad, so you interrogate everyone on the street for me, and then visit the inns and taverns to eliminate all accidents...... What are you doing in a daze! Go, go, go! The officials were miserable, so they had to bite the bullet, until they were tired of four or five people, and Ma Zhongguo felt that he had reached the limit in the first article.

But where would he give up? How many bad things he had done before, how scared he was now, he couldn't wait to finish all the good things of his ten lifetimes in these few days, and when the first one was to the limit, he started with the second one.

Little Fish's parents? Fart your way! That's my Ma Zhongguo's grandparents, my ancestors! Ask for instructions in the morning, report in the evening, break down a matter into eight small things one by one to consult Xiaoyu's parents, whether the two elders understand it or not, in short, ask first, and then say, whether there are instructions or not, and give the attitude in place, there must be nothing wrong.

No, he has knocked on the door of Tianzi No. 1 room:

"Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu."

"Is it the Horse County Order?"

"It's Xiaguan." Ma Zhongguo smiled respectfully, and then asked:

"Xia Guan wants to say goodbye to the second elder."

"Ma County Order, we have already said it, you are too polite, you are the county master, please say hello to the two of us grass people, isn't it all messed up......"

"No mess, no mess." Ma Zhongguo gently pushed open the door and slammed it to the ground:

"Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu, the lower official Ma Zhongguo has just finished his work from the county government and has come to say goodbye to the second elder...... What else does the second elder command? Uncle Yu hurriedly said:

"County master, hurry up, we can't afford ......"

"Yes." Ma Zhongguo went out backwards:

"The lower official is leaving, if the second elder has any orders, please summon the lower official at any time......" Ma Zhongguo's footsteps were far away, and in the room, Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu looked at each other, and Uncle Yu couldn't help but say:

"This Ma County Order, how does it seem to be ......?"

"It looks like a different person." Aunt Yu continued, and then sighed:

"That Jiang Gongzi is really powerful, Xiaoyu has such a friend, it is really a blessing for our family." Uncle Yu nodded:

"Xiaolan should be able to come back soon, and our family will be reunited in the past few days." Aunt Yu said in a low voice:

"I thought I could make him ...... Alas, that's it. Uncle Yu patted his wife on the back:

"It is said that the door is the right door, where are we for a character like Jiang Gongzi...... It is already a great joy to be able to get his help, and the hearts of people are not enough to swallow elephants, so don't mention these words again in the future. Aunt Yu gently leaned on Uncle Yu's shoulder:

"Old man, I'm so happy, it's good that I didn't die when I was in prison before, otherwise where would I have waited until today?" Uncle Yu hugged his wife:

"As long as people are still around, there is hope for everything." ………… From afar, Ma Zhongguo saw the door of his mansion, and he was originally very tired, and his heart suddenly gave birth to a sense of strength.

Walking to the door, looking at the mottled vermilion paint on the door, Ma Zhongguo couldn't help but move in his heart:

"It is not easy to earn a lot of money outside, but the door of the house is dilapidated like this, and my wife waits for me to come home in this broken house day and night." If you can escape this time, should you accompany her more in the future?

This thought flashed in Ma Zhongguo's mind, but then he remembered his wife's appearance of Lao Zhuhuang, and compared with the woman in the hut provided by the chief shopkeeper, he couldn't help frowning.

"Knock knock......" Ma Zhongguo knocked on the door.

"Squeak-" The door opened, Ma Zhongguo just stepped into one foot, looked up, and then his face changed greatly.

The home that should have been bustling was empty at this time. In the open space at the door, there was a small perfume bottle, made of ordinary material and inferior in fragrance, which he had given to his wife, and on which hung a note, and the ink had not dried:

"Do as told." An ominous premonition came to his heart, Ma Zhongguo turned around and wanted to escape, but his back tightened, and he was already held up by a sharp blade, and a big knife suddenly poked out from behind the door and put it in his neck:

"Ma County Order, take a step to speak." Ma Zhongguo's face turned pale:

"What do you want to do?" The man with the knife said earnestly:

"I want to ask the prefectural magistrate to administer justice." The murderer who dared to kidnap the county lord's family and threaten the court officials with a knife actually wanted to seek justice, which is really a strange news in the world.

………… Wuling County, a certain inn. The order Qin Yuqian received at the beginning was very simple - to go to Wuling County, Xiangzhou to stand by.

She rushed to Wuling County day and night, but was hung for a day and a night, not only did she not see her employer, but she did not even receive news from the Dry Bone Palace.

At first, she thought that Liu Lingwei, who was following her, was her employer, but the girl was clearly just an ordinary girl with a delusion, and her name was Li Guangyu

"Senior brother", presumably she was also born in the Heavenly Star Pavilion, how could the people of the Heavenly Star Pavilion have anything to do with my Dry Bone Palace?

Qin Yanqian couldn't help but shake her head when she thought of this. As a top killer assassin, Qin Yiqian can lie down in the snowstorm in Liaodong for three days and two nights in the mission, in order to wait for a suitable assassination opportunity; She also went deep into the ghost realm of Annan, sleeping in a swamp infested with snakes and insects and miasma.

Whether it is patience or endurance, she is already a top hitman, and her years of experience as a killer also make her feel that she will not be surprised by anything.

But when she received the letter, she was really shocked. Qin Yuqian picked up the secret letter in front of her, read it three or four times again, and then said in a low voice:

"This is a handwritten letter from the hall master, and it is difficult to forge it, but the place of this negotiation ......" Qin Yiqian listened to the order: After receiving this letter, he immediately went to the Wuling County Government to negotiate with his employer.

- Temple of Dry Bones............ A moment later, the back garden in the Wuling County Mansion. Xiaolan was tired of playing, and looked up at the hall:

"Uncle Zhou said that he wanted to treat me and let me come out to play, the three of them talked mysteriously, I wanted to listen to it and yell at me, it was really annoying." Then she put her hand on her little face and looked to the west, which was the direction of home:

"Sister, it's not fun here, when are you going to pick me up?" ………… On the outskirts of Wuling County, nearly a hundred miles to the east, by a bonfire.

"Close your eyes and sit with your heart closed, and hold your hands and meditate on God. Thirty-six knocks, holding Kunlun with both hands...... To wait for the divine water to, and then gargle and swallow Jin, so three times, the divine water swallowed nine times...... The mantra is 12 paragraphs, and the meridian is forward. Diligence is uninterrupted, and all diseases are turned into dust. Liu Lingwei sat cross-legged, silently reciting the mantra in her heart, and suddenly felt that the dantian moved, and she immediately jumped up:

"Senior brother! Big brother! Li Guangyu, who was guarding the fire, turned his head and looked serious:

"Little junior sister, you're naughty again!"

"I didn't!"

"Let you meditate and practice, concentrate your mind and calm your breath, why did you suddenly scream, what kind of system did you become."

"Hmph, then let me ask you, what are you asking me to meditate for?" Li Guangyue's face was unhappy:

"Naturally, in order to lay a good foundation, so that you can cultivate the first true qi as soon as possible, I only taught you two days ago, but you even forgot about this, it's really ......"

"Hehe," Liu Lingwei smiled slyly and interrupted Li Guangyu:

"I just moved my dantian, isn't this the first true qi?" Li Guangyu shook his head categorically:

"Impossible."

"Really," Liu Lingwei gestured to herself:

"Just now, I was meditating according to the mantra, and I suddenly jumped here, isn't this the first true qi?"

"It's three inches above the umbilicus, it's called the stomach," Li Guangyu pulled the corners of his mouth:

"The dantian is three inches below the umbilicus."

"Huh?" Liu Lingwei blinked awkwardly:

"And what is this?"

"It's a stomach scream, hungry." Li Guangyu shook his head and got up to leave:

"Keep cultivating, don't wander around. Senior brother went to get some food. Liu Lingwei sighed, rearranged her meditation posture, and after practicing for less than a moment, he opened his eyes and looked around, and when he saw that there was silence around her, she immediately stretched her back with her teeth and claws:

"Whew—it's boring." Then she pouted:

"Senior brother's skills are so bad, he can't even cook wild meat, let alone compare with Wang Jinwei, even a random cook in Wuling County is much better than him." I think of Wuling County's sauce board duck, loach drill tofu, and bowl vegetables...... Liu Lingwei couldn't help but salivate at the bottom of her tongue, she looked in the direction of Wuling County, and suddenly thought in her heart:

"Calculate the time, they're almost in Wuling County, right?"
