Liaozhai Great Sage

"This time you don't even have 500 taels of silver, only ten taels of silver for you. Although my Li family is rich, I can't let people like you blackmail me. I really thought that I, Li Xiuyuan, hadn't made trouble in the county these years, so I forgot I, Li Xiuyuan, won't be famous."

In the past, when he was not practicing martial arts, he was the little overlord of Guobei County, and he cleaned up these local ruffians, and he was obedient.

But these years he started to go to Xiahe Village to practice martial arts, and when he came back, he went to a private school to study literature, so he didn't have time to make trouble in Guobei County, so some local ruffians and idlers in Guobei County became active again.

Li Xiuyuan also knew that these people would never be extinct, so he let them go, and only beat them occasionally, after all, these people were still useful at some point.

It's just that he didn't expect that this black three was so greedy that he even blackmailed him.

Seeing the palm print on the wooden table, Hei San's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said with a chuckle: "Young master is so handsome, I have learned a lot of skills from the Taoist master in the past few years, but the little bones are so cheap, it's not worth it." The Eldest Young Master will do it so as not to dirty the Eldest Young Master's hands, but if the Eldest Young Master is willing to give the younger one ten taels of silver, then the younger one will be helpless, so the Eldest Young Master should hire another wise man."

"Captain Xu."

Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan's expression changed, and he saw several guards passing by, so he called out.

A middle-aged head catcher took a look, and immediately said in surprise: "Eldest young master, what kind of wind brought the young master here, and the young one didn't see it just now, so please don't blame the young master."

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said: "Xu Butou doesn't need to be so polite, I want Xu Butou to help me this time."

"Whether you want to help or not, the eldest young master just asks, and the young one agrees." Xu Butou said.

Li Xiuyuan pointed to Hei San and the others and said, "These people committed a crime, please trouble Butou Xu to lock them up for a month."

"Hehe, it's easy to say, easy to say." Xu Butou walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Hei San, if you offended the young master, please take the trouble to walk with us, and save the brothers to do it, so as not to hurt you." emotion."

"Hey, since Butou Xu has opened his mouth, how dare the little one fail, brothers, go to the prison." Hei San greeted, but he was not afraid of being imprisoned for a month.

Xu Butou motioned to several subordinates, and brought Hei San and the others back.

"Eldest young master, what is wrong with this black three, he dares to offend the young master."

Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "I'm disobedient, my bones are itchy, I need to beat them."

Xu Butou's eyes moved, and then he said in a low voice: "Hei San is notoriously a wallflower. In the past, Li's mansion covered the sky with one hand in Guobei County. Hei San is good."

Li Xiuyuan heard the implication: "Xu Butou means that Hei San has spotted other masters... Guobei County is so big, and there are no outsiders recently, huh? Yes, Xu Butou means The new magistrate, this black three is working for the magistrate?"

"Hush, this is not what the little one said, it was guessed by the young master himself." Catcher Xu said, looking around in shock.

"Hehe, so that's the case. No wonder Hei San is disobedient. He took refuge in the new county lord, but Xu Butou doesn't seem to be in that direction." Li Xiuyuan laughed.

Xu Butou chuckled; "The new one is an official from Liushui, and the Li family is the hard-working master. The young one is not as short-sighted as Hei San."

"Since Catcher Xu said so, then do something for me and find out something for me. After the matter is completed, the 500 taels of silver originally earned by the black three will belong to you." Li Xiuyuan said.

"I also ask the young master to order." Xu Butou said.

Li Xiuyuan said again what he had told Hei San before.

Xu Butou nodded, indicating that he would do it immediately, and immediately called his subordinates to wait for others to leave.

Li Xiuyuan watched them leave, his eyes moved slightly, it seems that this new county lord is a restless master, even a group of rascals like Hei San want to take it for his own use, what does this county lord want to do?

After leaving, Xu Butou became a little excited.

"This time, the black three is out of luck. Instead of hugging the Li family's thigh, he went to hug the county magistrate's leg. It was really cheap for me, and I earned 500 taels of silver this time."

"Boss, if we are doing things for the Li family so clearly, I'm afraid it won't be good if it is passed on to the county master." A subordinate next to him said.

Xu Butou glared at him: "You are also a short-sighted guy, do you know the power of the Li family?"

"Isn't it three generations of rich people, very rich, and nothing special." The catcher said.

Xu Butou lowered his head and said: "Idiot, what have you been doing in the past few years? Do you know that the Li family built a horse farm near Guobei County and opened an iron mine many years ago? Li's bodyguard company has already After driving to the capital, do you still think that the Li family is only rich? There are at least a few thousand bodyguards under the Li family, all of them are masters of the underworld, and there are not a few who have seen blood. With horses, iron, thousands of bodyguards, and three generations of riches, what can you do?"

The catcher looked at him in horror and said, "The Shunfeng escort business belongs to the Li family?"

"Otherwise what do you think, idiot." Xu Butou took a sip.

"What does the Li family recruit so many desperadoes? They also raise horses and open mines." The policeman said in fear.

Xu Butou patted him on the head; "You don't care what the Li family does, it's enough to do your own thing honestly, as long as you remember, this Guobei County will always be the Li family's world, don't look at it What county lord, no county lord, Hei San followed to seek death, don't pull me."

Chapter 30 Zhang Shun

Xu Butou was also a well-informed person in Guobei County, so he sent a yamen servant to report back what Li Xiuyuan wanted to inquire about.

"Zhang Shun, a carpenter in the north of the county, spent a lot of money during this time. Some people saw him spending a few hundred taels of silver to redeem a girl from a brothel, and others saw him spending nearly a thousand taels of silver to buy I bought a big house and prepared to go there in a few days."

The yamen servant said in a low voice.

Li Xiuyuan, who was wandering on the road, immediately moved his eyes and signaled: "I know about this matter, you can go to work first, if this matter is found out to be true, remember to come to my Li family to receive the reward."

"Thank you, Eldest Young Master." The yamen servant happily cupped his hands, and quickly left with his head down.

"Carpenter Zhang Shun?"

Li Xiuyuan thought about it in his mind, but he had a little impression of this person. Zhang Shun was the only son of an old carpenter in Guobei County. In recent years, he heard that he inherited the family business and was also a carpenter.

However, Zhang Shun didn't learn his father's craft. When he was working, he got into trouble a few times because he didn't satisfy others, and his reputation got bad, so no one asked him to work again.

After a long time, the originally good family property declined.

"Go and see Zhang Shun."

Li Xiuyuan immediately went to Zhang Shun's house without any hesitation. When he passed by the house, he called a few servants to go with him, and at the same time brought the black cat with enlightened intelligence, so as not to encounter the white mouse in time and be caught by it. ran away.

A moment of effort.

Li Xiuyuan came to a rather desolate and decaying old house.

"Knock on the door."

"Yes, young master." A servant stepped forward to knock on the door, but when he knocked, the door opened: "Young master, this door is not locked."

"Go in and have a look, Xiaodie, put the black cat down and let it wander around here." Li Xiuyuan said.

Xiaodie responded, and put down the black cat she was holding in her arms.

As soon as the black cat landed on the ground, it scurry into the house, and soon disappeared.

"There is movement in the house, and Zhang Shun guesses that he is at home." After walking into the yard, a servant heard it.

Li Xiuyuan strode into the hall, ready to drag Zhang Shun out and question him, to see if he ordered the white mouse to steal the silver from his Li family's treasury.

But immediately, he heard movement from the bedroom next to him.

Zhang Shun's voice sounded a bit wretched from inside: "My beauty, it's not in vain that I paid 300 taels of silver to redeem you from the brothel. Your ability to serve people is too good. Come on, use the previous Let's do that trick again."
