"Chen Feng, Wu Guang, Zhang Zhihe!"
"exist!"
"The county magistrate from ten years ago is now a state official. You should bring people to bring him to justice in secret!"
"yes!"
"The rest of you should secretly monitor the Ma family and arrest any suspicious persons immediately! We cannot let any news get into the Shangshu Mansion!"
"Yes!" The clear voice resounded through the sky, and orders were issued one after another, chasing the murderer for thousands of miles.
In a case that happened ten years ago, it is difficult to keep physical evidence, but human witnesses still exist.
Therefore, the key to this case is the witness. If we can get the account book from that year, we will have all the witnesses and evidence, and the law will catch us! Therefore, we must catch the person quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. As long as the slightest news leaks out, the witness will escape and the evidence will be destroyed, and it will be really difficult to redress the unjust case.
The eight gates of the capital were the emperor's spies. Officials below the third rank did not need to be reported to the emperor, Fu Mingrui could just arrest them and bring them to the capital!
So although Fu Mingrui was frightened in the Nine Gates, he did hold great power in the capital. All officials below the third rank in the capital had to give him some respect, and this was not because of the relationship with the left prime minister behind him.
When Master Yao Guang returned to the Nine Gates from the court, everyone was already waiting in the courtyard. What were they waiting for? They were waiting for money.
Lian Youyou sat in the hall with one hand supporting her face, one leg on the bench, looking at the broad back of Fat Buddha. Fat Buddha asked Guan Ye to deal with the corpse last night. When she met Guan Ye in the morning, his body was full of blood.
Lian Youyou narrowed her eyes slightly. This story hidden in the darkness is always more exciting than the surface. The story behind this coffin master will never be much better than Wanqing's.
However, Wanqing sacrificed herself. And the coffin master should have sacrificed the person in the coffin. What is the relationship between the person in the coffin and the coffin master? Lian Youyou didn't need to look at the coffin to know that there was a person hidden in it. Otherwise, what kind of immortal is she? To be a big liar, you really need some real skills!
Lian Youyou smiled lightly. She couldn't take care of the matter of the coffin master now, because firstly, her divine power was not enough, and secondly, if she wanted to take care of this matter, it would not be something that Wanqing could take care of in the human world, but she would have to go to the underworld. She didn't like going to the underworld, it was cold.
Hmm... I wonder what those two people tasted like last night
She glanced at everyone in the hall.
Lin Tingjun, who always sits beside her as if watching her. Sanniang, who is leaning against the door of the hall waiting for Master Yao Guang. Yun Xi, who will definitely stick to Sanniang. Yun Yao, who is staring at her and sees her as a love rival, the fat Buddha, who brings more steamed buns to everyone with a smile, and the little lettuce, who likes to be with her the most now.
None of their problems were trivial. However, none of them were as complicated as the matter of the coffin master who was probably still dealing with the corpses in the secret realm.
Lian Youyou came to Jiumen for the first time, and she would not go back for a while if she could not find that man. Since she had a connection with these people, and they were Yao Guang's disciples, she was free anyway, so it was a good opportunity to find something interesting to do.
"Master, eat the buns. You look better today than yesterday." He Shiqi quickly grabbed two buns from the Fat Buddha and gave them to Lian Youyou. Anyway, they had to be given to his master first.
Lian Youyou nodded with satisfaction: "Go give it to Wanqing, Xiaoguang will be back soon, take the money and go out for a good meal."
Lian Youyou's words made everyone who was holding the steamed buns stop and look at each other. That's right! Why eat steamed buns when you have money! Even if you eat it, can you buy some sugar and put it in first
As everyone was waiting, the fat figure of Mr. Yao Guang finally appeared at the door, and everyone rushed up immediately.
"How much?!"
"Old man, how much money did Fu Kun give you?"
Everyone's eyes were shining and they looked fascinated by money.
Master Yao Guang smiled mysteriously and took out a thick stack of silver notes from his sleeves: "One thousand five hundred taels!"
"Wow——" Everyone was about to grab the money, but Master Yao Guang immediately said to Sanniang, "Ah~~ You can't grab it, you can't grab it. Leave it here, Sanniang, as our Nine Sect's activity fund."
“Ah~ No, no~ We haven’t had any pocket money for a long time, and I haven’t bought new rouge for a long time…” Yun Yao pouted her lips, feeling so angry. She was so cute, but she didn’t have money to dress up well.
Yun Xi raised his hand and leaned on Yun Yao's shoulder. This time he was definitely on his sister's side. "That's right, old man, you are so stingy. You gave everything to Sanniang. How can we get any share? You should at least give each of us 20 taels. How long has it been since you gave me money?"
Master Yao Guang looked at Fat Buddha and said, "I really haven't paid everyone in a long time."
The Fat Buddha put his hands together and said: "Amitabha..." Then he spread his hands out, which was a clear request from Yao Guang!
"Twenty taels per person is only how much? You took fifteen hundred taels!" Yun Xi emphasized, "Look how pitiful little Linzi is. Every time he goes out, he can only sleep on the roof!" Yun Xi pointed at Lin Tingjun. Lin Tingjun said nothing, but his brows were already furrowed.
"Ten taels!" Master Yao Guang looked at everyone, bargained, and then told Sanniang, "Give each person ten taels."
Sanniang smiled charmingly: "Come~~ take the money~~~"
"Okay~ Ten taels is not bad~" everyone cheered.
Lian Youyou crossed her legs and looked at Mr. Yao Guang who walked into the hall, raised her eyebrows and said with disdain: "Xiao Guang, if you ask Fu Kun for money in the future, remember, the minimum is 12,000 taels~~~~"
Immediately, the group of people who received the money were stunned!
Master Yao Guang was stunned. One, ten thousand taels... Still asking for more?! You know, his monthly salary is only forty taels. If he can get fifteen hundred taels today, that's almost three years' worth of food and wages for him! He's still so proud!
But, Lian Youyou still thought it was not enough.
Lian Youyou winked at him and smiled, "Don't worry, they can afford it, so don't be stingy. For a person like Fu Kun, he won't dare to provoke us Nine Sects again unless you ask for money. Now your 1,500 taels is probably only his monthly pocket money. It's not a big deal, but he still holds a grudge in his heart, so he has to come again~~~" Lian Youyou stood up and snapped her fingers at He Shiqi, "Let's go eat dumplings~~~"
"Master~~wait for me~~~" He Shiqi followed Lian Youyou happily. Lin Tingjun stood up directly and followed Lian Youyou closely, which made He Shiqi roll his eyes.
Master Yao Guang was immediately regretful after being reminded by Lian Youyou. Yes! He really wanted to pay less. He could let Fu Kun pay in installments, and he could remember this lesson for a longer time!
"Sir! Ask for more next time!" Everyone shouted in unison. The more their sir asks, the more they can get! After they shouted, they followed Lin Tingjun and the others out. Today is the day for salary, why don't they have a good meal? To fill their stomachs with more oil and water.
Lord Yao Guang looked at everyone leaving and laughed with his round fat face.
In the blink of an eye, the nine doors were empty, leaving only the lonely big white steamed bun on the round table. When Guan Ye came out wiping his hands, he was stunned. Where is the person? (To be continued)
