Liaozhai Great Sage

"Forget it, don't talk about it, it's getting late now, you can go about your own business."

"Yes, my lord, I'm taking my leave." The master gave a salute and left respectfully.

After Seeing the Master left, County Magistrate Liu felt extremely depressed when he thought about what had happened before, so he called a servant, prepared a pot of good wine and a few dishes of side dishes, and drank alone in the gazebo in the back hall.

After half a jug of wine, he was a little drunk, and it was too late at this time, it was already night.

After hiccupping, he wobbled and prepared to go back to sleep.

But before he walked out of the courtyard, he suddenly saw a few maids. The servants were moving seats, chairs, and packing bags, as if they were moving house.

"Where did you recruit the servants, why did you move things from my county government?" County magistrate Liu said with a little drunkenness.

The servants ignored him and carried things on their own.

"Why don't you answer my words, stop, everyone stop." County magistrate Liu shouted.

At this time, an old man who seemed to be in charge came over hunchbacked, and said with a helpless expression: "This county magistrate, why did you stop the little one from waiting for someone to move?"

"I don't care if you want to move, but this is the county government, and everything is up to me. Where did you people come from? How dare you move things in the county government, don't you want to live?"

Magistrate Liu scolded, "Believe it or not, I immediately called the yamen servants and put you all in jail."

"This, this moving is the master's intention, and the younger one is just following orders." The hunchbacked steward said helplessly.

"Where is your master, let him come over and tell me, I want to see who is so bold as to move things in the county office." County magistrate Liu said.

"Please wait a moment, the magistrate. I'll call the master right away." The hunchback steward replied, and soon disappeared.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard, wearing an official robe of an unknown dynasty came over, cupped his hands at County Magistrate Liu and said, "Brother Liu, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, do you still recognize me?"

"You, who are you?" County magistrate Liu felt a little familiar when he saw this man, but he couldn't think of where he had met him for a while.

"Brother Liu really is a nobleman who forgets things too much. I'm Zhao Jing. You and I met when we were taking the exam together." The middle-aged man named Zhao Jing said.

County Magistrate Liu seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "Zhao Jing? I remembered a little bit, and I have some impressions. You remembered that you were ranked above me when you took the exam, so I envied you for a long time. By the way , why are you in my county office?"

"It's a long story. I've always lived here, but it's a pity that Brother Liu offended someone who shouldn't be offended. This made me lose my shelter. I have to find another place." Zhao Jing Shaking his head, he looked helpless.

"However, for the sake of friendship with Brother Liu, there are some things I have to say to you, Brother Liu. This matter is related to Brother Liu's official career."

"I hope to let you know about my official fortune," County Magistrate Liu said seriously.

Zhao Jing immediately said: "Originally Brother Liu still had ten years to serve as the county magistrate in Guobei County, but today, Brother Liu did something that should not have been done. I'm afraid that tomorrow will be the end, and there may be a catastrophe coming."

"It's absurd. How could I be in trouble? I don't believe that ten years of official luck is not official luck." County Magistrate Liu said.

Zhao Jing shook his head and smiled, said nothing more, and left with his hands, and then continued to direct his servants to move.

County magistrate Liu didn't stop him, he flicked his sleeves and went back to bed.

Chapter 51 Two Ghosts Visit the Prison

Li Xiuyuan returned to the mansion at this moment.

Even though it was already night, the lobby of the Li family was still brightly lit. Several housekeepers, as well as the guards of the Li family, gathered here, waiting for the order from the master.

Li Xiuyuan's face was heavy at the moment, obviously he was not in a good mood.

"My father was imprisoned by County Magistrate Liu. You all know this. I visited that County Magistrate Liu today. He is a greedy and evil official. Detaining my father was not just about extorting money from my Li family. Its real purpose is to take advantage of the problem and seize the four generations of my Li family's family business."

After finishing speaking, he slapped the tea table violently, and the heavy tea table actually cracked under this slap.

The housekeepers and guards were terrified and did not dare to say more.

Li Xiuyuan said: "My Li family has been a good family in Guobei County over the years, building bridges and paving roads, building water conservancy, running schools and opening relief homes, I don't know how many people have been supported indirectly. He dares to be so unscrupulous when he divides power, and takes advantage of my Li family, it seems that he really thinks that my Li family is a soft persimmon, so he can squeeze it if he wants to."

"Master, what are you going to do?" Li Guanjiawen asked.

"It's impossible for County Magistrate Liu to release my father. I will allow my father to be imprisoned even when he is old. His County Magistrate Liu is cruel, so don't blame me, Li Xiuyuan, for being cruel."

"The Master said, why complain, to repay grievances with grievances, these are the words of a sage, and I consider myself a scholar, how can I not follow the principles of a sage."

A cold light flickered in Li Xiuyuan's eyes: "Notify the Escort Bureau to send me a hundred experts, preferably from other places. At noon tomorrow, all of them will be masked and sent to the county government office to tie up that county magistrate Liu. Then take it thousands of miles away, and cut it with a single knife."

"Wh, what, kill an official? Young master, you have to think twice. Killing an official is tantamount to rebellion. If the news leaks out, our Li family will suffer disaster."

Butler Li was taken aback, his face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground and begged, "Please, Eldest Young Master, for the sake of family property, you have used other methods, this method is too dangerous."

Tieshan next to him said, "It's not an exaggeration to kill this son-of-a-bitch county magistrate. Who told him to keep thinking about our Li family, young master, as long as you say a word, the younger one will go to the escort bureau to gather him!" The manpower is guaranteed to be from other places, and after the incident is completed, they will never appear in Guobei County, so no one will be able to find out."

Tieshan, who was loyal to the Li family, supported Li Xiuyuan without hesitation.

"Tieshan, don't talk nonsense. A county magistrate will surely enjoy killing him, but it's time. Once the news is revealed, the Li family will be finished." Li Butler is a steady person, and he doesn't want to take risks like Li Xiuyuan.

"Hey, why does Eldest Young Master do it yourself, why not let the younger one do it for you, as long as Eldest Young Master orders, the younger one will make that County Magistrate Liu survive tonight." A rustling voice sounded.

"Magistrate Liu has committed too many crimes, and he is about to suffer retribution. The young master doesn't need to bother about this matter." Another voice sounded.

"Who, who is talking." Tieshan shouted: "Stand up for me."

Li Xiuyuan recognized the voice.

On the way back, the two ghost messengers I met, one with a blue face and the other with a black face.

"My Li family's mansion, you two brats still dare to sneak in, don't you want to live?" Li Xiuyuan said coldly.

"No, I dare not."

As the sound fell, a gust of wind blew outside the door, and two ghost servants in yamen uniforms bowed their hands to Li Xiuyuan respectfully.

"I just happened to pass by your mansion just now, and I happened to hear Mr. Li talking about the killing, so I was shocked, so I came over curiously to see if there is anything that can help Mr. Li. If there is any alarm Please don't blame Mr. Li." The blue-faced ghost messenger apologized.

Everyone was shocked when they saw these two ghost messengers, and Butler Li was even more frightened and fell to the ground unconsciously with a cry of surprise.

Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting on the main seat, snorted lightly: "I just talked, and the sound is only five feet away, and you can hear it outside the mansion?"

"Mr. Li, I'm a ghost messenger. I can hear sounds from all directions and three miles away. Naturally, I can also hear what Mr. Li said at the mansion." The black-faced ghost messenger said.

Li Xiuyuan smiled softly: "No wonder there is a saying that is good, if you want people to know, you have to do nothing. It seems that you ghosts and gods do have some supernatural powers. It is really not easy for ordinary people to satisfy you."

"Hey, hey, Mr. Li is ridiculous." The black-faced ghost guard said with a dry smile.

"You want to help me deal with that magistrate Liu?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"I would like to serve Mr. Li." The two ghost messengers said.

However, Li Xiuyuan stood up and said coldly: "Don't think I don't know, you guys made up this matter, I have already inquired clearly before, the reason why magistrate Liu dared to arrest my father so unscrupulously is because The identification of Goddess Wang, I heard from Butou Xu that Goddess Wang returned to Guobei County yesterday, was arrested, and was killed in court. Everything was ordered by my father, so County Magistrate Liu took advantage of the problem to deal with my Li family. .”
