Liaozhai Great Sage

"It was left behind by those two ghost messengers. They finished the matter, and the soul of Mistress Wang was taken away." Li Xiuyuan said.

Tieshan was startled and nodded.

Li Xiuyuan said again: "When you come back today, remember to find someone to choose a place in Guobei County, build a small temple, and make two statues for the two ghost messengers. In the future, I will order people to give them a few sticks of incense occasionally. Let them have a place to stay in Guobei County, so that they can do their best for our Li family."

Since these two ghost messengers got things done, it means that these two ghost messengers are still valuable.

In this way, it would be good to keep two ghost messengers, so let's build a house for them.

"Yes, Eldest Young Master, I have written it down." Tieshan nodded.

After a while, Li Xiuyuan came to the county government office in Guobei County.

At this time, the front of the county government office in Guobei County was already full of people, all of whom came from Guobei County to watch the fun.

"The young master is here, everyone, give way."

"Eldest young master, what happened to Mr. Li, and why did he file a lawsuit so well."

"Young master, don't say that the wealth of your Li family was obtained by witches Wang's sorcerer's magic, that it was Wang's witch who performed the five ghosts' wealth luck technique for your Li family, and removed the fortunes of other rich and noble families. That's why the Li family is so rich today, do you know if it's true or not?" Someone shouted.

Li Xiuyuan stopped, and immediately pointed at the person, "Who are you, dare to slander my Li family."

"Bastard, can you slander the young master? Do you want to be beaten?" Immediately, an idle man rushed out, punching and kicking the person who spoke.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan didn't stop him, but instead encouraged him: "Zhang Shun, you did a good job, come back to my Li family to receive the reward."

"That's great, young master."

The idler named Zhang Shun was overjoyed immediately, and fought harder and harder.

"Zhang Shun, people can be beaten, but the Li family doesn't care if something goes wrong." After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he stepped into the county office.

The idle man Zhang Shun heard the words and immediately dared not hit him so hard, lest he accidentally beat the man to death.

"Bah, what, the Li family has been rich for three generations, and it's been four generations for the young master. We are a well-known wealthy family in Guobei County. Can you, a vile outsider, be able to slander you?" Idle Han After Zhang Shun finished beating, he took another sip.

The outsider didn't dare to fight back after being beaten, so he could only accept his bad luck.

It's an extraordinary moment, an extraordinary approach, Li Xiuyuan will not be merciful at this juncture, he will beat what should be beaten, otherwise he would think that the Li family is just rich and has no dignity, and anyone can offend anyone. It couldn't be better.

Maybe it's because the Li family has been too kind all these years, so that no one dares to harbor evil intentions towards the Li family.

In the yamen, at this time, dozens of well-known squires and village elders in Guobei County have come here.

"Young Master Li." Many people saluted one after another.

Li Xiuyuan also returned the salutes one by one, after all, he was a junior in front of these people, and this seniority was still very important.

"Xiuyuan, what happened to Li Dafu, to be honest, we can't believe it no matter what, if the county magistrate Liu has some kind of torture and interrogation, I will wait for these old guys to help you The Li family speaks uprightly." Several respected elders said solemnly.

It can be seen that the Li family's status in Guobei County is not low, and their reputation is also very good.

"Please don't worry, everyone, I'm already somewhat prepared for this matter, and I won't let Magistrate Liu succeed." Li Xiuyuan replied.

"That's good." Several respected old people nodded.

"Ascension hall."

Suddenly, as soon as Li Xiuyuan arrived, there was a sound of a gavel in the lobby, and a rather majestic voice sounded.

Chapter 56 The County Magistrate

"Listen? The trial is open, go and have a look."

"Let's go, let's see what crime our Master Li from Guobei County will be convicted of."

"I heard that Mr. Li used sorcery to make money and kill him. I don't know if it's true or not."

As the sound of being promoted to the hall sounded, there was a crowd of people outside the county government office, and they all wanted to get in to see how the case of Mr. Li would be heard.

Some people hope that Li Dafu will be safe and sound this time. Of course, some people hope that it would be better for the Li family to collapse like this. After all, the Li family has been in Guobei County for several generations, and it is inevitable that there will be jealous people.

"Come here, bring up Mistress Wang who is suing Li Dafu." In the lobby, County Magistrate Liu on the main seat suddenly said.

All the yamen servants looked at each other in blank dismay, didn't the witch Wang die yesterday?How can I go to court?

Soon, two people carried the stretcher and moved the body of Mistress Wang to the lobby.

"Look, Goddess Wang is dead?" The squires and clan elders outside the hall were startled.

"Well, how can this dead person file a complaint? Seeing that the sorceress Wang has been dead for several days." There is also an old man with more poisonous eyesight who said; "There are already spots on the corpse. Got caught?"

"Yeah, people have been dead for several days, how could they go to the county government to sue Li Dafu."

"But I heard people say that Goddess Wang was arrested a few days ago, but she didn't die."

For a while, doubts and discussions continued.

Li Xiuyuan, who was in front of the crowd, looked calm, and just glanced at the corpse of the witch Wang.

I saw that the body of Witch Wang was covered with bruises from being beaten, and there were bruises and purple spots all over her body, as if she was beaten to death by someone alive, and the wounds were in patches, which was very strange.

"Those two ghosts are desperate enough." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

At this time, County Magistrate Liu suddenly shouted: "Who said that the dead cannot sue, and do you know how Goddess Wang died? I have been an official for many years, and I have never seen such a bold person who dared to sneak into the county at midnight last night. The most important witness in this case, Mistress Wang, was beaten to death inside the Yamen."

"What does this mean? It's clear that someone wants to kill someone to silence the witnesses and destroy the evidence. I suspect that this matter has something to do with the Li family. It is very likely that the Li family sent people into the county government office and killed Mistress Wang."

When everyone heard the words, there was an uproar again, and they started discussing one after another.

County Magistrate Liu snorted softly, not giving everyone a chance to discuss, and said: "Come here, pass on the son of Li Dafu, Li Xiuyuan."

"Eldest young master, look, this..." A servant came over and said with a embarrassed face.

"It's okay, let's see how County Magistrate Liu plans to slander my Li family." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and walked out immediately.

"Son of Li Dafu, Li Xiuyuan has met the county magistrate."

He came out, with a bit of cold eyes, and calmly saluted.

County Magistrate Liu said coldly: "You are Li Xiuyuan? Let me ask you, give me an honest account, where were you at midnight last night?"

"My lord, at midnight, I'm naturally at home." Li Xiuyuan said.

"What are you doing in the mansion?" Magistrate Liu asked.

"My father was imprisoned. Naturally, I was worried about my father's affairs and stayed up all night." Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
