Mei Dali heard Li Qiufeng say this, and when he landed all over his body, he patted his chest and swore that as long as Li Qiufeng wanted him to do something, even if it was the Fire Sea Sword Mountain, he would go and break through.

Li Qiufeng said: "The person I want to check is Cheng Yufan of Xiuwu County." ”

Mei Dali was stunned, then slapped his thigh, and said: "Don't hide it from the master, the villain has long seen that the surname Yu is not a good thing." As soon as this old boy arrived in our Xiuwu County, he gave us a dismissal, saying that he would not accept our filial piety money, and that we should not collect money from those merchants. Tell me, sir, how can such an official be a clean official?!"

Li Qiufeng was stunned, he didn't know what Mei Dali meant by this, and couldn't help asking: "Such an official is not a clean official, so what kind of official is a clean official?"

Mei vigorously said: "Collecting money to do things is a good official." Those who don't collect money and don't do anything, and those who don't collect money and don't do things, are all fucking corrupt officials!"

When he said this, he suddenly realized that he had said a foul word, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "The villain has no door on his mouth, nonsense, don't be angry, big lord." ”

Li Qiufeng only felt that what this person said was incredible, waved his hand vigorously at Mei, and said: "Mr. Mei, I am secretly visiting this time, and I can't reveal my identity. ”

Mei Dali thought secretly in his heart, at the moment, I am afraid that the entire Xiuwu County will know that you are a big official from the capital, so why do you pretend to be in front of me? ”

Li Qiufeng said: "I just heard Mr. Mei's words, but I just feel unfathomable, can you please tell Mr. Mei in detail?"

Seeing that Li Qiufeng was quite interested in his words, Mei Dali was proud and said, "Big ...... Commander Li is on an errand in the Criminal Department of the capital, which is high-minded, so naturally he doesn't know the dirty affairs of these magistrates. These magistrates of our Ming Dynasty, even if they are the magistrates of the county, only pay more than 100 stones a year. A small county surnamed Yu died for a year, and it was only seventy or eighty stones. If he didn't think otherwise, how would he support his family? Yu Xiancheng has been in Xiuwu County for less than two months, and we ordinary people naturally don't know his details, but the attendant next to him is called four out of three, and he eats big fish and meat in a few restaurants in the city every day, and wears brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes. Commander Li might as well think about it, this kid is just a servant of Yu County, and he has to rely on Yu County Cheng to support him. If the surname Yu is really a good official with clean sleeves, where will he get the silver for the servants to squander like this?"

Li Qiufeng was stunned, he didn't expect that people like Mei Dali would have such a well-behaved mind.

Mei Dali continued: "As soon as the surnamed Yu arrived in Xiuwu County, we were not allowed to collect money from those shops, and we were not allowed to send him filial piety money. This is not because he is a clean official, but because he has another way to make money, so he naturally looks down on our little money. How can such an official be a clean official?"

The more Li Qiufeng listened, the more strange he became, but if he thought about it carefully, things were indeed as Mei Dali said. When he was in the capital, he had also heard about a lot of officials messing around. Among them, several well-known clean officials were eventually found to be big corrupt officials. On the surface, these people did not extort their subordinates or take bribes, but they embezzled thousands of taels of silver. It's just that Li Qiufeng didn't expect that people like Mei Dali would also be well versed in the way of officials making money.

Mei Dali saw Li Qiufeng's face surprised, guessed his thoughts, and said with a smile: "You are a big official, naturally you don't know that although the people in the world are stupid, in fact, we ordinary people are also clean about corrupt officials, but we people are born to suffer and suffer poor, and we can't be officials, so we can only give officials stinky feet and wipe our buttocks." ”

When he said this, he suddenly remembered that his words were disrespectful to Li Qiufeng, and he secretly scolded himself in his heart for being damned, and he became proud and talked nonsense. It was he who hurriedly said: "The villain is talking about those corrupt officials, and he is definitely not speaking ill of you, my lord." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "I didn't expect Mr. Mei to have such insight, admire, admire." ”

Mei Dali saw that Li Qiufeng was not annoyed, so he put his mind at ease, and then said: "The surname Yu talks and pretends to be pretentious, such officials and villains have seen a lot. Compared with the surname Yu, the villain still thinks Master Zhang is good. Collect money to do things, and will not pretend to be a hypocrite. ”

Li Qiufeng thought to himself that it was no wonder that Wan Congyun and Ba Yuyan were extremely jealous of Mei Dali, this person was cunning and many, much more powerful than Wan and Ba. Finding this person to do things by yourself is considered to be the right person. Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng said to Mei: "Mr. Mei has such insight, admire, admire." ”

Mei Dali listened to Li Qiufeng praise herself, her heart was overjoyed, the words in her mouth were like a tide, and a high hat sent straight to Li Qiufeng.

Li Qiufeng said: "Mr. Mei, from today on, you will keep an eye on Yu Xiancheng for me." Where he went and who he met, you have to tell me 1510. ”

Mei Dali said: "This is easy, Commander Li can rest assured." ”

Li Qiufeng saw that Mei Dali looked indifferent, for fear that he would hold him up, and told him: "Yu County's martial arts are not weak, Mr. Mei must be careful." And the servant next to him, Yu Chenghei, is ruthless, and he must be even more careful. ”

Mei Dali said: "Although these apprentices of the villain are of little use, they have grown up in Xiuwu County since they were children, and they can walk more than a dozen laps in the city with their eyes closed and will not get lost." If the surname Yu comes out, we will naturally have a way to follow him. You'll just have to wait for news from us. ”

Li Qiufeng took out a handful of loose silver taels from his arms and handed it to Mei Dali, saying: "You take this money first, invite the brothers to drink tea and eat, and after the matter is completed, I will be thanked." ”

Mei Dali saw that there were two or three taels of these broken silver, and he was overjoyed, and he excused himself a few words, and finally took it.

Li Qiufeng told him a few more words, and finally said: "This matter is extremely confidential and must not be known to outsiders. In order to prevent anyone from becoming suspicious, Mr. Mei went first, and I went out from the other end of the alley. ”

After Mei Dali left, Li Qiufeng walked out from the other end of the alley slowly. At this time, it was almost dusk, but lanterns were lit in front of every house, making the whole county bright. Li Qiufeng bought two meat buns on the street and ate them while walking, until he arrived in front of the City God Temple. However, dozens of small wooden houses were erected in the open space in front of the temple, and the vendors were standing inside the wooden houses, shouting to attract the people who came to see the excitement. There are various colored lanterns hanging on the high poles around the temple, and the lights are reflected on the roof tiles of the City God Temple, exuding a dim light, which looks quite strange.

Li Qiufeng saw that the temple was like a huge market, and compared with the empty situation a few days ago, it had completely changed into a different appearance. He thought to himself that on the night of the Lantern Festival, this place must be more lively. If the Wako suddenly makes a move, I am afraid that it will immediately turn into a flesh-and-blood Shura field. We had to think of a way to find out where the would-be were in advance, and then we could save the people in the city from a catastrophe.

Li Qiufeng squeezed through the crowd while thinking, and walked all the way to the gate of the City God Temple. At this time, the temple gate was closed, but there were more than a dozen people standing on the stone steps in front of the door, pointing at the crowd in the open space in front of the temple gate.

Li Qiufeng didn't care at first, but said that these people were people who came to see the lamp, and standing on the stone steps, naturally to see further. It's just that when he walked up the stone steps, he suddenly collided with one of them. Li Qiufeng was startled, and couldn't help but look at it. Under the light of the lantern, I saw that this person was tall and upright, and it turned out to be Nie Dingnan, who had brought him into the Fengmen Village a few days ago.

Although Li Qiufeng knew that since Old Lady Nie had arrived, Nie Dingnan would inevitably follow him. It's just that they met suddenly, and their hearts are still cold. Nie Dingnan was not surprised at all, and actually smiled at Li Qiufeng.

Li Qiufeng did not stop at his feet, and walked up the stone steps. The dozen or so people who were originally standing on the stone steps suddenly dispersed, and they had already formed a siege on Li Qiufeng. Only Nie Dingnan stood in front of Li Qiufeng calmly, just blocking his passage to the temple gate.

Li Qiufeng secretly thought in his heart that he pretended to be just a little foot in the rivers and lakes that day, and was brought into Fengmen Village by Nie Dingnan. Today's situation is different from the past, since Nie Dingnan came to the door, he just humiliated this person, lest these Nie family children be arrogant and rude and point fingers in front of him. It was the strong autumn wind that did not stop, and said coldly: "Get out of the way!"
