At this moment, Gray Mian was also looking at the changes that Yi Shuyuan had completed in an instant.

"Sir, you are like this, you are even better than Qi Boy's appearance, if you walk on the road, I have to look at it twice!"

"That's nature!"

The white-haired old man smiled and stroked his beard gently, and the rain that had fallen on his side naturally fell on the old man at this moment.

"Well, tsk, it's raining a lot."

The old man hurriedly trotted a few steps, carrying his clothes and going to the door of the house on the side to hide from the rain, which was also the place where the flag was placed.

Gray Mian also walked quickly through the rain, ran back to the old man's shoulder, and shrank directly under his hair.

"Sir. Let's not go into the county office? ”

"Don't enter, at least this will not enter, at this moment to go in and touch the black dragon's moldy head, it is not the best way to deal with it, but it may make him angry, although he has not been in contact before, but now it seems that his temper is not stable!"

Ash barely hid under his hair and nodded slightly.

"I didn't expect him to come directly in person, if Mr. had a conflict with him, or even started to do it, Haiyu County and Beihai County would suffer."

"That's not already, but it's inevitable to fight it!"

When I heard this, my heart was beating violently.

While speaking, Yi Shuyuan looked at the door, and the "Old Immortal Wonderful Hexagram" on the banner was particularly eye-catching.

"Hey, it's not a small tone!"

When Gray Mian said this, the old man just stroked his beard and looked at the banner without speaking, then looked up at the sky, and then cast his eyes to the room over there, with a thoughtful expression.

The courtyard is actually not small, there are seven or eight rooms before and after, and those who can have this house next to the county government should also have some wealth.

In the courtyard facing the main door, people did not notice that there was someone at the door to take shelter from the rain, because something else was distracting.

It was already dark, and the hall was closed to the wind, and a lamp was lit, and a short-bearded man in a coarse sermon's coat was approaching the oil lamp with his contents in his hand, and looked at it carefully by the light.

The man was holding a copper coin in his hand, and he had done it for a long time, several times, and there were several similar copper coins on the table.

The weight of the copper coin is more than that of the common presser, and the texture on it is exquisite, and the traces of rust are also very natural.

The text on the front of the copper coin is "Hongxing Tongbao", and most of the back is smooth, and there are two lines of unknown meaning on the left and right.

"Daoist Xue, you've been watching it long enough, do you recognize what this is?"

There were still two people standing beside the Taoist, who were also watching carefully by the lamplight, one was obviously a servant, and the other was a middle-aged man with a mustache who was questioning, with obvious expectation in his tone.

The Taoist looked at the person in front of him.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, you said that ordinary people came to your shop to look for you?"

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded and replied.

"Yes, he came to my pawnshop with a handful of copper coins, and wanted to ask about the situation of this copper coin, whether he could exchange it for ordinary money, and I was shocked when I saw it!"

The shopkeeper described the scene.

"I've been running a pawn shop for so many years, and I've come into contact with a lot of things, and I can't even recognize the source of this money, but if I look closely, I don't feel like a privately minted coin, and the weight is still so overwhelming!"

The Taoist nodded slightly.

"Then how many copper coins did you give to others and leave these? Also, he said he didn't say how he got it? ”

Shopkeeper Zhang answered the latter question first.

"I asked at the time, of course, I didn't look very eager, just asked casually."

Saying that, Shopkeeper Zhang also learned from himself at that time.

"This money is indeed old money, it's rare, I can't even think of it for a while, by the way, where did you get it?"

After this sentence, Shopkeeper Zhang's tone was a little more relaxed.

The man actually said that in the evening, the children of the family were afraid of being blamed, so they made a fire outside the courtyard to simmer and roast taro, and a passer-by was attracted by the smell of taro and bought it with this money. This is obviously a lie, but he doesn't want to say more, and I can't ask more, as for how much it spent."

Shopkeeper Zhang stretched out two fingers.

"One-for-two! I will give him two of this kind of penny, although this coin is pressing, but the weight is naturally not worth two, he took the money and left happily! ”

The Taoist frowned and shook his head slightly.

"Give less, shopkeeper Zhang, you give less! This money is unbelievable, it's so overwhelming."

Shopkeeper Zhang's eyes lit up, and his face showed joy, he didn't open a pawnshop for charity, he was originally running to make money!

"Dao Chief, you said this money is a good thing, right?"

The Taoist nodded.

"Good thing, with your shopkeeper's eyesight, you don't know, it can only be a foreign thing, I also have some knowledge, I have been a country in Daegu for many years, and there should be no mint of this coin in all dynasties before, and the nearby country seems to be even more impossible"

Judging from the fineness and other details of this copper coin, it is obvious that it is a currency in normal circulation, and not related to some special ritual vessels.

This degree of exquisiteness, detailed depiction, the amount of copper used in itself, and the key is that there is a special "pressure feeling" that the Taoist himself feels, all explain one thing.

This money comes from a big dynasty, and it is at least prosperous, so that there is leisure to carve the shape of copper coins, and it will be used enough!

"Shopkeeper Zhang, if you are willing to cut your love"

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper Zhang's face changed slightly, and the Taoist hurriedly continued.

"Sell a few, just sell a few to the poor road, never take more, whether it is five or a penny, one or two silver, how about it?"

"One or two?"

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled, thought for a while and replied.

"Daochang Xue, it's not like I've never seen money, a tael of silver is actually nothing to me, but you have helped me a lot, since you have spoken, so let's do it, one or two silver, when five give you one, this small one, I will give you four, how about it?"

The Taoist took a step back and bowed.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Alas, it can't be done!"

The person in front of him is also a capable person, and the shopkeeper Zhang is also happy to give a certain expression.

The Taoist put away the gift and pinched the copper coin in his hand, and looked at the humanity in front of him.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, say one more word about the poor road, one for two, less, less!"

——

In the dining hall of the official residence behind the county government, Guan Xinrui and his wife Liu Huifang are dining at this moment.

The personal maid on the side saw that her wife was happy, and she also served her vegetables again and again, Liu turned her head to look at the maid and beckoned her to sit down.

"Qiao'er, sit down too, take the dishes and chopsticks and eat together!"

The maid was shocked and waved her hand again and again.

"No, no, no, madam, you have to wait until you and the master finish eating!"

Liu reached out and grabbed the maid's arm, and helped her to the seat and sat down with a slight force.

"Let you sit, will I not listen to me?"

The maid hesitated and looked at Guan Xinrui, who also nodded when he saw that his wife had spoken.

"Madame has said everything, then you can sit down."

"Yes"

The maid didn't dare to disobey, but she was still a little apprehensive when she took the dishes and chopsticks, but when she came into contact with the lady's eyes, her heart relaxed, she and her wife were both master servants and playmates from childhood to adulthood, and there was nothing to worry about.

However, Guan Xinrui looked at his wife, and his expression was thoughtful while eating, and from time to time his eyes would glance at the maid.

The rain outside the door was still falling, and the sound of "bang-la-la-la" was not only noisy, but set off a different kind of quiet.

The black-shirted man Chai Wang had seen before was standing outside the door of the dining hall at the moment, but no one seemed to be able to see him from the occasional passers around him.

The door of the dining hall was a void in front of the man, and his eyes seemed to be able to see everything inside through the doors and windows.

"Humph!"

The black-shirted man just sneered, the expression on his face was playful and a hint of mockery, he could feel the scales on the body of this county order, and at the same time, he could also feel the strange resentment wrapped around the scales.

After so many years, I didn't expect it to become such an evil thing now.

"Yaci, I didn't give you a chance at the beginning, but now I'll give you this opportunity, but it's a pity that this is not enough, let my father help you!"

With a sneer, the man in the black shirt raised his hand and pointed towards the dining hall.

At this moment, a trace of blood overflowed from the man's fingertips, which was red at first, but after condensing and forming, it turned into a dark yellow color.

Swish~

This drop of blood turned into a faint glow invisible to ordinary people, flew into the dining hall, lit it in Guan Xinrui's arms, and entered the dragon scales.

The dragon scales glowed with a faint glow, but they couldn't be seen from the outside because they were blocked by the black cloth and Guan Xinrui's clothes.

But the dragon scales also emitted a faint burst of heat, and then gradually transformed into a cold cold, making Guan Xinrui, who was carrying this thing, slightly feel some illusion-like changes, and because it disappeared quickly, it was considered a real illusion.

In the dining hall, Guan Xinrui, who had finished eating, suddenly reached out and hugged his wife's waist from behind when the maid Qiao'er was leaving after cleaning up the dining table, and whispered in her ear.

"Madame, it's better to do it today."

Guan Xinrui didn't say everything, but the meaning was already obvious, maybe the health tonic soup cooked by his wife was too nourishing, which would make him a little unbearable.

Liu looked sideways behind him.

"Husband, I have been feeling unwell and cold recently, and it is inconvenient to have a bed ceremony with my husband, so you can go find Qiao'er tonight!"

Guan Xinrui, who had already expected this, couldn't help but exert a little bit of force in his hands when he heard this.

And on the verandah of the dining hall, the maid had just come back and walked here, and she couldn't help but pause when she heard the words in the room.

After calming down for a while, the maid entered the dining hall, but she happened to meet Guan Xinrui's gaze, her eyes flashed a trace of panic, and she hurriedly came over to wipe the table again.

"Qiao'er, let others do these things, I have ordered someone to boil hot water and send it to your room, don't be tired today, go take a bath first."

The maid looked at Madame and opened her mouth.

"Husband, ma'am, me."

"Go ahead!"

"Yes"

The maid put down the rag and hurried out of the dining room, and when she returned to the house, she was already thinking wildly.

The bath was also washed absent-mindedly, but before the maid finished washing, the door of the house was pushed open with a "pop~", and she realized that she had even forgotten to lock the door in the confusion just now, or maybe she didn't forget it.

Guan Xinrui originally just wanted to knock on the door, but he didn't want to slam the door open at once, so he immediately walked in.

He didn't care so much, looked at the clothes on the screen, and walked directly behind the screen.

"Ah, sir, don't come in, I haven't washed up yet."

Seeing the woman holding her body in panic and shrinking into the water, Guan Xinrui was not afraid at all in the face of her, with a smile on her face and a very tough tone.

"Qiao'er, put down your hands and stand up!"

"No, no, sir"

"Do as I say!"

Guan Xinrui's tone was a little tougher, the maid in the bath bucket shook, slowly got up in hesitation, and then slowly put down the hand covering herself.

The next moment, Qiao'er screamed "ah", and she felt that her body was light, and she was directly thrown and picked up.

The master's strength is so great?

"Ah sir, Qiao'er's body hasn't been wiped yet, ah"

The wet bath water was drenched all the way, and because of the loss of balance and the fear of falling, Qiao'er also hugged the people around her tightly until she fell to the bed with them.

"No need!"

The old man, who usually seems to be gentle and elegant, seems to have changed at this moment, acting rudely in Qiao'er's shame, anger, panic and a hint of expectation-

PS: Today's event took more time than expected, it was afternoon when I went down the mountain, and I came back to sleep, so it was late.

Chapter 2 will be later, and tomorrow should be back to normal hours.
