Zhou Xiuchun's death compared to ordinary people is that once he becomes rich, he will inevitably be extremely sassy.

Not long after leaving the capital, he fed Wangcai another 2 Taiyi Dan, and Wangcai jumped into the fetal breath level, and took another big step forward on the road to evolving into a divine beast.

Riding a divine beast, supported by Bigu Dan and Powerful Pills, plus having the courage to rush at night after getting a bad spirit, but in just seven days, Zhou Xiuchun rushed all the way to Jinhua County.

When I arrived in Jinhua County, it was evening.

The continuous autumn rain soaked Zhou Xiuchun's whole body, and the cold and biting night breeze blew him, which made him feel as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

The county town was bleak, and the streets were full of dead bodies covered by broken mats, and the disgusting smell stimulated Zhou Xiuchun's sensitive sense of smell at all times, making him frown deeply.

The farther away from the capital, the worse the situation seems.

After walking around the county, Zhou Xiuchun finally found the county office.

The yamen looks extremely dilapidated, the iron rings on the gate are rusty, densely distributed with large patches of patina, there are two wooden shelves on both sides of the door, and a big drum is placed on the shelf on the left-hand side, but the drum surface is broken, obviously unusable, and the other shelf is empty. There is a plaque hanging above the gate, with two big characters on the county government, but the gold paint that should have been painted on the big characters has been peeled off to the brink.

Zhou Xiuchun stood in front of the door, with a heavy heart and a hint of jealousy.

"Wangcai, you said that if the county government has become a ghost house, does that mean that the whole city has become a ghost town?"

Wangcai snorted and lowered his head to look for fresh grass.

Zhou Xiuchun sighed slightly, and after hesitating for two seconds, he still stepped forward and knocked on the door of the county government.

It didn't take long for an arrogant and domineering voice to come from inside, which surprised Zhou Xiuchun.

"It's dark, knock your mother! Don't be afraid to invite ghosts! You poor ghosts, you want to redress your grievances, wait until tomorrow to raise enough money to come back!"

It's a human being, not a ghost, and that's good.

Zhou Xiuchun smiled slightly, knocked twice hard, and shouted: "Lao Tzu is a Shangguan from the capital!

There was silence for a moment, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

The door opened, and several thieves poked their heads out with torches, and when they saw Zhou Xiuchun's awesome appearance, they immediately believed it.

A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar and looking obscene walked out from behind the crowd, bowed to Zhou Xiuchun, and said politely: "The villain is the grandfather of the county commander Bao, Sun Bo, dare to ask the lord here, what is his business?"

Zhou Xiuchun took out the token from his waist, shook it in front of Gongsun Bo, and said: "This official is a secret agent in the inner house, codenamed 007, and he came to Jinhua County to investigate a big case by the emperor's secret order. ”

"Huh?" Gongsun Bo exclaimed, and suddenly his words stumbled, "You...... You were sent by the emperor?"

"Hurry up and ask you to come out to see me, I'm in a hurry. Zhou Xiuchun squeezed away a few people standing in front of the door, led Wangcai, and walked in with a golden knife.

Gongsun Bo followed behind Zhou Xiuchun and said with a panicked expression: "My lord, what case are you here to investigate?"

Zhou Xiuchun said lightly: "Murder." ”

"Huh?" Gongsun Bo exclaimed again, then casually pulled over a servant and whispered, "Go and check how many of the people who have been beheaded recently are unjust." ”

Zhou Xiuchun heard it word for word, and asked lightly: "Why, you have handled a lot of unjust cases recently?"

Gongsun Bo's face changed, and he squeezed out a smile and said: "You heard it wrong, our Lord Bao has always been impartial and law-abiding, deeply loved by the people, and never did fake public and private things, the little one just ordered his subordinates to investigate......

"Forget it, you don't need to explain this to me, the person this official wants to investigate is not dead here with you. ”

Zhou Xiuchun walked into the court as he spoke, and after handing over the wealth to the officials and taking it away, he sat on the chair of the county magistrate with a grin.

Gongsun Bo heard that Zhou Xiuchun was not here to trouble them, so he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said respectfully: "My lord, wait a minute, I'll go and ask us to come out." ”

It didn't take long for a fat man, who was more round than the emperor, to run out of the back hall in disheveled clothes.

Seeing Zhou Xiuchun sitting behind the desk, the fat man quickly knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "The upper mission is here, the lower pass is far away, and I hope to forgive the sin!"

"False courtesy is waived, I don't have time to rub against you. Zhou Xiuchun stood up, walked up to the fat man and said, "You immediately send someone to take me to the prison to have a look, the official is looking for a suspect." ”

The fat man knelt and raised his head and asked Zhou Xiuchun: "My lord, why bother you to go in person for such a thing, just call someone for the little one!"

"I have to see this person in person, and you just do it. ”

Zhou Xiuchun didn't speak loudly, but when it fell into the ears of the fat man, it had an irresistible power. The fat man hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Zhang Long Zhao Hu, immediately order the people and accompany the adults to the prison!"

At the sound of an order, in the blink of an eye, the yamen was full of people, all of them fully armed and solemn.

Zhou Xiuchun smiled and asked, "Go to the prison, as for being so popular?"

Gongsun Bo replied, "Your Excellency, you don't know anything. We are far away from the capital and sparsely populated, so at night, it is very haunted. Especially during this time, I don't know what's going on, there are always one or two people being eaten by evil ghosts every day, which makes people in the county panic, and when it gets dark, no one dares to go out. You are in a high position at the gate, and you are not afraid of evil ghosts, but I am just a small sesame official, if you don't push out the door, I am afraid that I will be killed by evil ghosts before I reach the prison. ”

Zhou Xiuchun frowned and said, "Are the ghosts here so powerful?"

"It's so powerful, it's cruel!" replied the fat man, "At present, the harvest is not good, and the people are not making a living, and the lower officials want to help, but the little money issued by the imperial court is only enough for the people in our yamen to fill their stomachs, and there is really no surplus grain to open a warehouse for disaster relief." Some of the hungry people went crazy with hunger, so they went around killing people and eating human flesh, and those who were eaten were hungry and resentful before they died, and after they were killed, they were even more angry. ”

"The situation is so serious, why don't you play the court?" Zhou Xiuchun asked.

"My lord, it's not a dereliction of duty on the part of the lower officials, it's really useless to play!" the fat man sighed, "The appropriation of the imperial court came out of the household department, and the government secretary first deducted fifty percent, and then to the county guard to deduct forty percent, and fell into our hands, removing some fire consumption, and there were still five points left to survive." With such a little money, you can't do anything at all, and the lower officials are ruthless, so they use the quarterly allocation to redeem the girls who sell themselves in the county. ”

The fat man sighed deeply as he spoke, and then continued: "Finally, the remaining little money will be used by the lower officials to distribute it to the brothers as a bounty for the arrest of fugitives. The brothers have hope in their lives, they are enthusiastic about their work, and they are working from sunrise to sunset every day, and now our prisons are overcrowded. Xia Guan thought to himself, when all the murderers in the county town were arrested, this place would not be so haunted. ”

Zhou Xiuchun was silent for a long time, sighed, and asked, "I'm afraid that among the people who were arrested, there are many unjust, false and wrongful cases, right?"

"My lord, forgive the official for saying something heart-wrenching, in this world, don't care about good people and bad people, in short, it is better to catch the wrong one than to put it wrong. You may not know that a little further south, there is no one living at all, and some monsters openly appear in the county town in broad daylight, and eat people when they see them. Bao Fatzi actually said righteously, "According to the lower officials, those people died worthless, it is better to be arrested in prison and confess to the children of those high-ranking officials who have committed crimes in the capital, so that we can have more income to support ourselves, and those precious lives will not be wasted." ”

The monster has already come out in broad daylight to make the wind and rain?

Zhou Xiuchun muttered in his heart.

The current situation is really precarious!
