Changsheng opens treasure chests everywhere

Chapter 20 Investigation
As expected, the county government storeroom was just like what the yamen servant said, no matter the walls, floors or door locks, there was no sign of damage at all.

"Is it really a ghost?"

Mi Xiaoxia and Li Jinnian came to check together, originally they just wanted to scare the dog official and find a chance to get out of trouble.But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid he was right.

There were originally two door gods on the gate of the warehouse, but they were torn apart at some point.Although the door god's magic power is low, he is also a priest recorded in the heaven.If the door god is still there, ordinary ghosts cannot enter the warehouse.

In addition, in the warehouse, where the warehouse silver was originally stored, there is still a faint trace of black air remaining.Mi Xiaoxia didn't dare to be very sure, but Chou Nu recognized it at a glance, it was ghost energy.

"Master Mi, do you have any clues?"

After investigating once more, Liu Jinnian turned to Mi Xiaoxia in a flattering manner.

In the lobby just now, Mi Xiaoxia said that ghosts were causing the trouble, but in fact Liu Jinnian believed most of it.After all, things are too bizarre to be humanly possible.

Moreover, the three homicides involving Li Dazhu and others did not look like they were done by humans.Linked in this way, the possibility of ghost theft is even greater.

Liu Jinnian even suspected that the evil ghost killed people just to distract the yamen's attention, and the real purpose was to steal Kuyin!Here I have to say that Liu Jinnian's detective soul has been ignited too much.

Liu Jinnian can catch people, but not ghosts.It just so happened that Mi Xiaoxia asked a question at this time, and he, a frail scholar, is not afraid of the torture stick, and he really has some skills.

Liu Jinnian thought to himself, let Mi Xiaoxia catch the ghost first, and after Ku Yin is found, it won't be too late to deal with him!

"Obviously, it was indeed a ghost that stole Ku Yin."

Mi Xiaoxia said with his hands behind his back, with an inscrutable expression on his face.

"Where is that ghost now? How to catch it? Most importantly, how to get the money back!"

Liu Jinnian was anxious for a while, and asked three questions in succession.

"Hehe, even if the Nine Heavens Slaughtering Demon Patriarch goes down to the lower realm, it will take some time to catch ghosts and capture demons. Give me a month, and I will definitely catch this little ghost and get back the official money!"

Mi Xiaoxia smiled, then patted his chest and said.

"One month! No, no, it's too long!"

Liu Jinnian widened his eyes and shook his head vigorously. Losing Ku Yin is a serious crime of losing an official and beheading. How could it be delayed for such a long time? After thinking about it, he stretched out his hands and said.

"Ten days! Ten days at most!"

"One month, one hour must not be less, or you will put me in prison and hire another expert."

Mi Xiaoxia snorted lightly, then turned around.

"This...well! One month is one month!"

Seeing that Mi Xiaoxia had no room for negotiation at all, Liu Jinnian hesitated for a while and could only agree, who made him ask for help now.

"Oh, by the way, my Xi Niang came with me to the county government office. Her feet are swollen from walking. Find a sedan chair to carry her back to my residence."

Mi Xiaoxia suddenly remembered and told Liu Jinnian to say.

"...Okay, let's find a sedan chair."

How many steps in total can make people's feet swollen?Mi Xiaoxia clearly ordered him on purpose, but it's still the same sentence, who made him ask for anything.

Liu Jinnian gritted his teeth angrily, but had to keep a smile on his face.Feeling ruthless, as long as Ku Yin is found, Mi Xiaoxia must be killed!

Mi Xiaoxia didn't care about that, hummed a ditty with his hands behind his back, and went home cheerfully.

"Remove harm for the people and benefit the village..."

While walking, Mi Xiaoxia was thinking about the copper treasure box in the county government office.

Before coming to the storeroom, Mi Xiaoxia went to the backyard on the pretext of going to the latrine, and found the copper treasure box according to the small map, and got the clue of the key after touching it.

Different from the past, this time the clues are more vague. Generally speaking, it is to do good deeds for the people of Linjiang County.When the people are grateful to Mi Xiaoxia, they can get the treasure chest key.

But the question is, what should Mi Xiaoxia do to make the people feel grateful to him?
Mi Xiaoxia thought about it, and each family was given a tael of silver, but he didn't have that much money.Or simply kill a few bullies and ruffians in the county, but how many do you have to kill?

"Forget it, let's talk."

Before I knew it, I had already arrived home, so I didn't think about it for the time being.

When Mi Xiaoxia arrived home, Shen Xiniang had already come back first, and sure enough the sedan chair moved faster than people.Seeing that Mi Xiaoxia came back safely, Shen Xiniang rushed up to greet her.

"Xiaoxia, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Shen Xiniang looked Mi Xiaoxia up and down, for fear that he would be beaten or frightened.

"Hehe, the county magistrate encountered a little trouble and asked me to help. It's too late to treat me like a guest. How could he make things difficult for me?"

Mi Xiaoxia smiled, and touched Shen Xiniang's cheek to reassure her.

"Phew, I was scared to death. After all, we ordinary people don't go to places like Yamen. I'll cut up the meat and make a bowl of braised pork for you to get rid of bad luck."

Shen Xiniang breathed a sigh of relief, and then went out to buy vegetables with a bamboo basket.

Seeing Shen Xiniang go out, Mi Xiaoxia had a comfortable smile on his face, it's really nice to have such a woman in the family.

"Master, are you really planning to find money for the dog officer?"

At night, Chou Nu appeared and asked Mi Xiaoxia anxiously.

"Look for it, why don't you look for it."

Mi Xiaoxia smiled, then his expression changed suddenly, and he ordered.

"But before that, I have to figure out one thing, why Liu Jinnian can't get along with me! You go and keep an eye on Liu's mansion and see who Liu Jinnian associates with. What's so tricky about it!"

"Quack! Alright, I'll go right away!"

Seeing that Mi Xiaoxia was going to deal with Liu Jinnian, Ugly Nu burst into a strange laugh of excitement, and flew away from the window in a cloud of black smoke.

"Liu Jinnian, you asked for this!"

Mi Xiaoxia sneered at the corner of his mouth, Liu Jinnian is not an upright official, if he is punished, maybe the common people will be grateful.But things can't be rushed, Mi Xiaoxia already has a plan.

Then he settled down and continued to practice.

If Mi Xiaoxia's cultivation level is high enough, he can directly use force to solve the problem, so why bother thinking about tricks.

After all, strength is everything!
The next morning, Mi Xiaoxia was the same as usual.But after breakfast, instead of going back to the house to practice, he led his horse out the door.

Mi Xiaoxia rode on a horse, wandering aimlessly in the streets and alleys of Linjiang County.Doing nothing, just staring at the passers-by.

This lasted for seven days, Mi Xiaoxia went out on time every day, and went home for dinner on time.Wandering the streets seemed like his job.

Linjiang County is not big, in seven days, Mi Xiaoxia has visited every corner three or four times.

"My lord, that Mi Xiaoxia rides that bay red horse and roams the streets every day. He doesn't look like he's investigating the case at all."

In the county yamen, Zhang Butou reported to Liu Jinnian, his tone was sour and vinegary, he didn't even have a horse to ride, and a suspect showed off every day.

"Let him go, you just need to visit the expert, we can't just rely on that Xiaoxia Mi."

Liu Jinnian rubbed his sore forehead, then raised his head and sneered at the corner of his mouth.

"No matter what means he uses, if he can't find the money within a month, I will kill him!"

It was another day without words, at night, Mi Xiaoxia was practicing as usual, when suddenly his heart moved, and he saw the ugly slave flying back.

"Master, we found it! So it's all Zhao Qianming's fault!"

The ugly slave grinned, revealing four sharp fangs.

According to Mi Xiaoxia's order, the ugly slave has been lurking in Liu Jinnian's residence, and finally tonight, he meets Zhao Qianming who came quietly.The two closed the doors and windows tightly to talk, and the ghost slave was attached to the beam of the house, hearing their words clearly.

The reason why Liu Jinnian arrested Mi Xiaoxia was because Zhao Qianming bewitched him!
After Li Dazhu and others were killed, Liu Jinnian desperately needed someone to take the blame for his political achievements.At this time, Zhao Qianming went to visit him and gave him a lot of money to frame Mi Xiaoxia.

Liu Jinnian didn't care who it was, he happened to still have some money, so he sent an official letter to arrest Mi Xiaoxia, and wanted to beat him to death.

After meeting for so many days, Mi Xiaoxia is still doing well.Zhao Qianming couldn't sit still, so he went to ask Liu Jinnian tonight, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the lurking ugly slave.

"Zhao Qianming, I haven't taken the time to find him, but he's plotting against me instead."

Mi Xiaoxia sneered at the corner of his mouth, this is really self-inflicted.

"Master, do you want me to kill him tonight!"

Ugly Nu showed a ghost claw, he hadn't eaten anyone for a few days, and he was already a little hungry and thirsty.

"In order not to startle the snake, come one by one, none of them can escape!"

Mi Xiaoxia has a plan in mind, now that the matter has been clarified, and he has made a move, no matter whether it is Liu Jinnian or Zhao Qianming, neither of them can escape.

"Ugly slave, go and stare at another person."

After thinking about it, Mi Xiaoxia ordered.

"Are you going to stare at Zhao Qianming?"

"No, you go and keep an eye on Song Fengshi for me!"

Mi Xiaoxia smiled and said a name.
