Chapter 19: The old fox is tempted in all directions, and Wu Dalang is improvised

All the catchers went out and searched for two days and two nights, but they did not find the Ximenqing who escaped within the time of the two pillars of incense.

After a few more days, this Ximen official seemed to have evaporated from the world, and the search scope even expanded to several surrounding counties, but he could not find it.

In the process of searching, everyone also found that the princess who colluded with Ximenqing also disappeared.

Just when everyone thought they had been thinking about absconding in fear of crime, it was a heavy rain that washed down a small hillside outside the county, emitting the smell of corpses.

The rotten old woman lying inside is the princess!

Wu Zhi directly buckled this basin on Ximen Qing.

said that they ran away together and shared the spoils unevenly, and then Ximen Qing fought and killed Wang Po.

This also further confirms Ximen Qingcao's life.

Although the post-mortem stated that the body had been dead for at least seven days.

But no one paid any attention to his words, and everyone thought so.

After it was determined that Ximenqing could not be found at all, Ximenqing's mansion was also confiscated by the government, and his family property was said to have moved out a full 80,000 taels of silver and 5,000 taels of gold!

This is in a small Yanggu County, which can be said to have scraped the people's fat and people's ointment under the ground.

said that it was divided into three or seven, and the county magistrate took away 5,000 taels of gold, leaving only 80,000 taels of silver for Wuzhi.

At first, the house was also given to Wu Zhi in the name of eliminating harm, but he finally refused.

This Ximen Qing will not die for a day, and he will not be able to sleep and eat for a day.

This house is a difficult place, in case Ximenqing comes back with Taishi Cai one day, he must be regarded as the first person.

Where was the county magistrate at that time? If you're unlucky, you'll already be dead!

Wu Zhi's little account is still clear.

"Congratulations to the county master, this is a big house, you will enjoy it in the future."

Wu Zhi smiled, but his eyes were staring at this old thing's expression.

This time, he was secretly shadowing this old thing.

Ximenqing's house is a hot thing.

Once Taishi Cai really came over, the first thing to bear the brunt of it was the county master.

Of course, he had to live until that time.

And it is impossible for Liu Wan to refuse, this house was given to a small person for no reason, which is not even more controversial.

It doesn't matter if the silver is on the table, after all, it's not something on the table, you can divide it however you want.

Just take out a few thousand taels of silver and send it to the yamen to act as a public treasury, and everything will be fine.

The county magistrate also smiled.

He patted Wu Zhi's body and said:

"This house is collected by us on our behalf, and I don't dare to embezzle it privately."

Wu Zhi secretly scolded the old fox.

is worthy of being an old man who has lived for decades, and he is directly a hands-off shopkeeper.

In the future, Taishi Cai will come to the door, and this old thing can pretend that he doesn't know anything.

He didn't try to debunk the old fox, but just changed his tone and asked:

"County master, this Ximen Qing has so many crimes, and those servants and slaves have also confessed to him, plus he killed the princess, is this not a wanted warrant?"

The county master's eyes narrowed, he looked left and right, and there were not too many miscellaneous people, and he said in a low voice:

"Wu Zhi, do you really don't know or fake don't know?"

"What do you mean?"

"That Ximen Qing backstage is the current situation. It's not something you and I can handle! As the saying goes, be a man and leave a line to see each other in the future, don't kill them all and make people jealous! ”

This Ximen Qing left such a huge family property, maybe it was not to seal the mouths of these people at the end!

Wu Zhi naturally knows Ximenqing's backer, but this kid is not dead, and he is still difficult to be at peace in his heart.

Now that the county magistrate has already said what he is afraid of, he has nothing to say.

Liu Wan glanced at him.

"As for how the princess died, others don't know, don't you understand yet? Don't mention the wanted warrant again, let it be over. ”

"Got it, sir."

Wu Zhi didn't think much about it, he understood the jealousy of the county master.

On the one hand, don't chase Ximenqing to death, give him a way to live, and let him remember it in his heart.

On the other hand, it can be regarded as expressing the goodwill of Yanggu County and telling Ximenqing, who is in exile, that we will not pursue this matter. You can go where you want to live, and you will have nothing to do with each other in the future.

It is this golden mean that has brought Liu Wan to where he is now, otherwise he would have died on the way to become an official.

Liu Wan suddenly asked at this time:

"Wudutou is coming back soon, right?"

"Look at the time in the last few days."

Liu Wan nodded and continued:

"The head catcher was brutally killed by Ximen Qing, and the head catcher in the Yamen is temporarily missing, do you have any ideas? The family is the first to catch the head, and the lintel is prosperous. ”

Wu Zhi turned his head suddenly, he didn't expect this Liu Wan to be able to give him such a big benefit.

It's not because of how big an official the head catcher is.

On the contrary, the head catcher is just a small official, but this can be regarded as officially stepping into the officialdom, with this beginning, why worry about not having a chance in the future?

Just as Wu Zhi was about to thank him, Liu Wan spoke again.

"Do you have any ideas for Simon's shop? If there is, the official will resell the land, and sell it cheaper to you. ”

And that couldn't be better!

Today was a bonus.

He has long coveted those few good shops, and if he can summarize them into his own hands, he can definitely be the next gentleman!

Wu Zhi has to say, this Song Dynasty is powerful, the official can send it, and the ground can also send it!

As long as you are brave enough to push others down, you can sit on them yourself!

No wonder Li Kui once said that.

"Your emperor is Song, and my brother's surname is Song, why can't my brother sit on this throne?"

He bowed his hand and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Lord Yanagi!"

"You're welcome, remember, don't mention Ximenqing in the future, and that account book, you should understand."

Wu Zhi nodded, patted his chest, and showed a sly smile.

"Don't worry, wait, there won't be a fourth person who knows about this account book!"

Liu Wan thought about it, Wu Zhi, Ximen Qing, plus himself, were the three of them.

But Wu Zhi meant that he, Liu Wan and Brother Yun.

"Also, those ruffians in Yanggu County, you might be able to manage it?"

"This ...... Probably not too easy to do. ”

He kept an eye on it, he didn't know what this Liu Wan meant, and he didn't dare to go along with those ruffians.

After all, these people's butts are not very clean.

Liu Wan sighed.

"Try to take care of them, if you are the head catcher, you must take care of them."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to throw out an extremely ambiguous look.

"Wu Zhi, when the time comes, you will find that there are too many places where these ruffians can help you!"

Wu Zhi chuckled.

It really helps, but you just don't know it!
