I played the world alone

Chapter 359 County Government Investigation (Two in One)

The faces of several younger juniors suddenly changed color, and their eyes became increasingly evasive and fearful.

I thought the old man had heard from some source some of the dirty things they had done recently, and was now about to settle accounts with them!
They were all trembling with fear immediately.

Wang Yuanliang was so old and well-informed. He was like a good man. He could see something strange about them at a glance, and his face darkened.

But he did not expose them directly, but said solemnly to his eldest son: "You will be responsible for supervising this matter! There must be no omissions!"

Although the eldest son was full of doubts, he could only agree honestly at the moment.

Wang Yuanliang said again: "Also, there should be a lot of surplus food in the mansion. From today on, we will arrange for manpower to give porridge to the poor people outside on a regular basis!"

"what?"

The eldest son couldn't help but be startled, while the people next to him couldn't help but whispered: "Master, our food is not brought by the strong wind, and it is not much now. We have to be careful to feed our big family. Why? Do you still have to worry about those outside?"

Mr. Wang's face suddenly turned cold and he said coldly: "Do you know how difficult the world is now? There are still many places suffering from famine, and many victims rely on eating tree bark and Guanyin Tucai all the way. Come here!”

"Our family eats and drinks every day, which is quite good. Since we have some spare energy, we should naturally show some kindness and help those in desperate situations."

"In addition, I will also discuss this matter with other wealthy businessmen in the city. I believe they will understand my decision. And you must remember that doing good deeds will have many benefits for you in the future..."

Wang Yuanliang said seriously.

As for such bizarre words, people may not have believed it yesterday, but now they are at least somewhat doubtful after seeing the horrifying scene with their own eyes.It's just that if you really have to spend real money to support it, it's still a bit reluctant.

The eldest son responded quickly and immediately asked tentatively: "Dad, what did you see at the Chenghuang Temple yesterday?"

Wang Yuanliang glanced at the crowd, then waved his hand and said seriously: "Okay, everyone who has nothing to do now can disperse and go about your own business!"

But only the eldest son was kept.

He said to him earnestly: "Son, I did see many things in the Chenghuang Temple yesterday that we can only see after we die..."

Then, he briefly recounted what he had experienced last night.

The expression on the eldest son's face changed from confusion at first to shock and disbelief.

If it weren't for the fact that the person complaining in front of him was his biological father, he would definitely treat everyone as a madman.

Even so, he couldn't help but be so excited that his fingers trembled slightly, and then he understood why his father would reject everyone and leave him alone.

You must know that the secrets of such gods are indeed not something ordinary people should hear!If you don’t have a certain character and opportunity, I’m afraid it will only add trouble to yourself!
And if you don’t have enough family connections, you will never reveal such secrets that may change your life easily!
He said excitedly: "Dad, I understand what you mean! I will immediately order people to do what you just said, and I will keep an eye on it myself! I will never let this matter go wrong in the slightest!"

Wang Yuanliang nodded happily: "That's right. But you also need to pay attention to the fact that we should not be too deliberate in doing good deeds. Even if we do good deeds intentionally but are not rewarded, the merits may not be counted on us by then."

These are the patterns that Wang Yuanliang discovered when he reviewed the cases in the Chenghuang Temple yesterday.

Although he is old, after all, he still has many descendants, so it is inevitable that he will be selfish.

Take this for example.As long as you know it in advance, you might be able to make some amends or make positive changes!That means you have more opportunities than others!
After the eldest son left, Wang Yuanliang immediately ordered his servants to prepare a carriage to go to the county government office.

Here, Hu Fangde was currently inside the county government office, looking at the reports submitted by his subordinates, wanting to see what Wang Yuanliang was up to.

As a result, just as I was thinking about it, the real owner suddenly came!

He was so shocked that he quickly stuffed all the papers in his hands into his clothes, quickly put on a smiling face and greeted her warmly.

"Oh, Mr. Wang! I was talking about you just now to my master. He said that you are highly respected and kind-hearted. Many people are full of praise when they mention you, which makes me admire you very much!"

Wang Yuanliang was naturally too lazy to pay attention to the other party's petty thoughts. He just dealt with it politely, and then couldn't wait to ask: "Magistrate Hu, I came here this time to see the cases in the Yamen in recent years, especially those that There is no clear case, I wonder if I can agree?"

Hu Fangde's heart suddenly skipped a beat, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party, thinking secretly in his heart.

"Why did this old man come up with a new trick? Could it be that what happened yesterday made the other party suspicious, and even began to suspect that there were problems with my previous judgments?"

Thinking of this, Hu Fangde's face looked a little unhappy.

After all, he knew whether there was anything fishy in those previous judgments.

Especially in some cases, he will let the party with more money win. If he investigates it carefully, there will be many problems!
He wanted to refuse outright, but after thinking about it, it was inappropriate.

After all, the other party was once a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and he also had a relationship with the prefect. He couldn't forcefully drive the other party back, so wouldn't he just tell the other party that he felt guilty?

At the moment, I could only respond with a fake smile, but my mind was still working quickly to find an excuse.

"Old man, well, since you said so, there is no problem. But you also know that some cases involve some secrets, and those cannot be shown to outsiders. I hope you will forgive me for this."

Wang Yuanliang didn't care about this little detail and agreed directly.

Hu Fangde turned around and ordered his master to go to the case library to retrieve files from recent years. Later, when he was worried, he went there in person and specifically selected some problematic cases that must be hidden and must not be taken together.

Fortunately, what made him relieved was that Wang Yuanliang really didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing these cases in detail. Instead, he couldn't wait to read through the files as soon as he got them.

And it was more like rummaging than looking.

Hu Fangde felt bored after staying here for a while, so he asked his master to stay with him while he found an excuse and slipped out.

Although the master also found it boring, he was also worried that the old man would suddenly ask something he shouldn't answer. He couldn't help but feel uneasy, but he didn't dare to leave, so he could only accompany him cautiously.

From time to time, he asked the maid to bring some tea and snacks, which were fragrant and fragrant, trying to stop Mr. Wang's attention from being so concentrated, so as not to really see what was wrong with it.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was noon.Mr. Wang has read the files of the past three years.

Although most of them were flipped through quickly, there were a few cases that he seemed to be quite interested in and paid special attention to.

During this period, he didn't say a word, and he didn't touch any tea or snacks. The master almost dozed off next to him.

Until the sudden voice of Wang Yuanliang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly woke him up and rubbed his groggy eyes.He quickly stepped forward in embarrassment and asked, "Mr. Wang, what's wrong?"

Wang Yuanliang pointed to a certain case in the file in his hand. "Has the truth of this case been found out now?"

The master immediately looked over.

What was recorded above was that a scholar died unexpectedly and tragically in the wild. At that time, some people speculated that he was a gangster who had robbed his money, while others said that he accidentally encountered a wild beast.

But after all, there is still no conclusion, so I can only hang here.

The master breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, this case is not one of those problematic cases mentioned by the county magistrate just now."

Although I was still wondering why I was asking these questions, I still answered honestly: "I haven't found out yet. After all, the body was almost completely rotten when it was found. Many things could not be identified, and even its identity was only based on its clothes and Certain features are just barely discernible.”

After all, there are not many technological means that can be relied on in this era. It would be good to find the real family of this body and give it a funeral, so the master did not feel guilty when he said these words.

I just secretly guessed in my heart that this scholar was some relative of Wang Yuanliang, that's why he asked him so much trouble.

The strange thing is that Wang Yuanliang did not pursue this issue further, but quickly turned to the next page, where there was another new case.

"What about this?"

In this way, he asked many similar cases in succession. The common point was that they were all cases in which the truth had not been found out, and the time had passed and it was impossible to pursue the truth.

Although the master felt more and more strange, he still answered honestly.Occasionally, for some previous cases that he didn't understand, he would call in other experienced detectives or police officers to provide additional verification.

After asking these questions, Wang Yuanliang seemed to be no longer interested in other cases.

Instead, he had a mysterious expression on his face, as if he had guessed the truth of something. He closed all the files with a slight nod, said a polite word to the master, and left in a hurry.

The confused Master scratched his hair.

"Was...wasting so much time just to ask these questions? These are still these headless cases. Is there really something wrong with this old man's head?"

However, these were not issues that he should consider, so he turned around and told the county magistrate.

And Hu Fangde was also puzzled.

He turned to Master Xiang and asked, "Are you sure he really only looked for those unsolved cases and didn't ask anything else?"

The master quickly gave a definite answer.

He had been staring at the side just now. Although he took a few naps in the middle, he was sure that the old man did not do anything that exceeded the rules.
Hu Fangde frowned: "This old man..."

"Forget it, no matter what tricks he is up to, you continue to collect clues, I have to get back on them!"

the other side.Wang Yuanliang, who had been confirmed in his heart, was filled with excitement. While sitting in the car, he was still thinking a lot and could not calm down.

"It's true!" he whispered to himself.

The cases he looked at just now were the cases he tried in the Chenghuang Temple last night, and most of them could be matched one-to-one with the files in the county government.

Even if it is slightly different.It's probably because some details didn't match up.He felt that he must.According to the version of the gods.

Because mortals can make mistakes through carelessness.But the gods certainly won’t!

In this way, he was finally able to truly confirm that those things were true!
In this case, he also has to prepare for what happens after his death.

Without hesitation, he immediately ordered the coachman to head towards the homes of those fellow Taoists who had taken the City God test with him.

He also needs to discuss some things with other people!
……

I worked like this until night.

Seeing that it was already dark outside, Wang Yuanliang, who was sitting in the carriage, was very satisfied.

Because he had already discussed with those people about giving charity.

Although at first those colleagues couldn't understand why they did this suddenly.

Even their attitudes are basically the same as those of the Wang family's descendants.

But after he revealed the results of the punishment for good deeds and evil deeds in the underworld, those people were shocked, and then they thought about it and immediately agreed, and they were afraid that he would not agree.They even called the accountant on the spot to use an abacus to calculate the amount of money they wanted to pay!

The speed of this face change is really impressive.

However, Wang Yuanliang did not laugh at them, because if he put himself in their shoes, his own situation might not be much better than theirs.

It is inevitable that people have bad qualities.How many people are willing to spend so much money on something that seems to be completely meaningless for no reason?
And just as he was thinking, the coachman in front suddenly shouted: "Master, a group of people carrying a strange sedan suddenly came in front, and it seems that they are coming towards us."

There was some vigilance in his voice, and he was worried that if those people bumped into the master, he might lose his job and have to be punished.

Wang Yuanliang reacted immediately.

That should be the sedan bearers from the City God's Temple looking for him!
He raised the curtain, looked at the sky and calculated the time, and estimated that it was almost time to take office.

These bearers should be reminding him not to be late when he takes office!
"It doesn't matter. I'll get off the car here. They're here to pick me up. You can go back alone."

The coachman was a little surprised, but before he could ask any more questions, he saw his master smiling and greeting the four people carrying the sedan, and then he couldn't wait to get on the other party's sedan.

Before the coachman could react, the sedan suddenly turned around in the direction it came from.

The bearer's steps were brisk.In a blink of an eye, he disappeared from sight.

Immediately, a gust of wind blew, and the driver, who had been stunned, felt a chill on his back, and his mind unconsciously thought of the recent dirty rumors.

He had some doubts.Could it be that something strange happened to me?

And how will I explain to the young master and his wife when I go back now?Did you say that the master got on someone else's sedan?
