After daybreak, Landlord Wang was worried and asked his servant to help him over, only to see Jiutian drawing talismans on the table.

"Jiutian, you are so diligent." Landlord Wang was envious. It would be great if Wang Can could give birth to a child like this.

Good-looking and capable.

Landlord Wang has made up his mind that as long as he has a grandson, he will have his grandson become a Taoist priest's disciple.

"Landlord Wang, you are here?" Jiutian said happily, "My second uncle was sick last night. He had a headache all night and fell asleep at dawn."

"Oh, then do you want to ask a doctor?"

"No, just get some good sleep." Jiu Tian said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Landlord Wang actually had nothing to do. Jiutian was too capable. Everyone admired the strong, and he was the same. He wanted to get closer to Jiutian.

Before he could answer, he heard a burst of hearty laughter outside: "Jiutian, we are here again."

It was County Magistrate Wang and County Magistrate Li, and they were followed by a skinny middle-aged man.

Magistrate Wang said: "Jiutian, you really can make shoes without an awl, you are really good at it!"

Jiutian happily showed his little teeth.

"As for the well you mentioned, a corpse has been dug out. County Magistrate Zhu, this kid is Jiu Tian."

The thin old man excitedly bowed and greeted Jiutian.

"That day I led people to dig the dry well in the land southwest of the Hu family, and unexpectedly dug out two corpses one after another. The upper one was the corpse of a woman, and the lower one was the corpse of a child."

Jiu Tian also widened his eyes: "Two?"

"Yes, two! The lower child's body is that of Madam Wang's brother, and the upper one is that of a woman from the town where Mr. Wang lives.

That woman saw Lady Wang's stepmother murder someone, but instead of reporting it to the police, she went to blackmail Lady Wang's stepmother. The stepmother decided to go all the way and simply smashed the woman to death and threw her into the well.

If Jiutian hadn't pointed it out this time, County Magistrate Wang would never have solved the two disappearance cases from ten years ago until his death.

The woman and Wang Furen Hu's brother disappeared, and the locals said they were kidnapped by human traffickers. But no one expected that they both died on their doorstep.

County Magistrate Li's eyes were burning with anger as he asked, "Xiao Jiutian, can I invite you to stay at the county government office for a few days?"

Before Jiutian could say anything, a loud bang was heard in the room.

Several people hurried in and saw Yin Jinan glaring at the door.

There were candlesticks lying on the ground.

Because the floors of the building are made of wood, the candlesticks make a particularly loud noise when they hit the floor.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"You, you still want to bring Jiutian to the county government office to help you solve an old case?" Yin Jinan looked at Magistrate Wang and Magistrate Li, his eyes brimming with ice, and said, "She is only four and a half years old."

Magistrate Li felt a little ashamed and said immediately, "I'm sorry, I was just excited and said something wrong."

Yin Jinan is too thin now, but that does not hinder his majesty and ruthlessness.

Even if he changed his appearance, he was still the biggest dandy boss in the streets of Tokyo, the king who hunted down desperate criminals in the wilderness and beat up bandits in the north. How could the fool Xiao Jinan have the majesty of a superior?

At this moment, County Magistrate Li and County Magistrate Wang only felt a tremor in front of Wang.

My knees went weak involuntarily.

"Master Jinyi, don't worry, we know she is young and we won't tire her out."

"But you have already exhausted her!" Yin Jin'an said sternly, "Do you know that if she reveals the secret, she will suffer the consequences?"

"I'm sorry. Jiutian told us our fortunes that day, and my father said he would give her 30,000 taels of silver as compensation, but Jiutian said he would buy things for the poor, so he didn't give it back..."

What he meant was that his nine days were not wasted.

"Thirty thousand taels of silver? Is that a lot?"

Yin Jinan's power burst out and his questioning was deafening.

Thirty thousand taels of silver? He and Living Guanyin, with a large ship sailing out to sea, would make a profit of thirty million taels.

His little Jiutian, who was only four and a half years old, calculated fate for an entire day, saved their family, and gave them a future.

Whether they used the thirty thousand taels to help the poor is another matter. But I will give you the thirty thousand taels in exchange for changing my life. How about that?

County Magistrate Wang realized belatedly that it was inappropriate to detain Jiutian in the Wang family's yard that day to save the landlord Wang, tell fortunes for Mrs. Hu, check his feng shui, and look for a way to continue his offspring.

He and Landlord Wang felt that offering thirty thousand taels of silver was enough of a show of sincerity. However, in this world, how much silver could buy a life?

Can you buy the lives of these powerful people?

Three lives at once? Even the future of a family!

County Magistrate Wang's original intention of giving alms had now disappeared.

Being rejected so angrily by Yin Jinan, he realized how wrong he was.

Just because she is young, can I exploit her unscrupulously?

Just because her parents were not around, could he go too far again and again? Even recommend her to his friends for exploitation?

Do you think that just because you have invested a little money and think you are the county magistrate, you can take it for granted to reap the hard work of others?

"Mr. Jinyi, I'm really sorry. I... can compensate you. No, Jiutian saved three of our lives, and we will worship him as our benefactor for life." County Magistrate Wang said ashamedly.

County Magistrate Zhu handed a bag of silver to Jiutian at the right time.

"This is a reward from our county government for solving the injustice of the dry well case and finding two missing people in one fell swoop. Jiu Tian, ​​you have accumulated great merits. You must take this silver."

Jiu Tian asked, "Are there any Taoist temples or Buddhist temples nearby?"

"There are no Taoist temples or Buddhist temples."

"Oh, then I'll take it first." Jiutian didn't hesitate this time and put the silver into his bag.

It’s not that she can’t take the money, she can just use it to do good deeds.

Although Landlord Wang had never been in officialdom, he had eaten more salt than his son had eaten rice for most of his life. Naturally, he could see that both this Young Master in Brocade Clothes and Jiutian would reach heights that they could not reach in the future.

He first promised: "Young Master Jinyi, if you have any problem, our Wang family will sacrifice our lives for you."

Yin Jinan sneered, "You should all be grateful for the opportunity to sacrifice your lives for this."

Landlord Wang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, thank you, Master Jinyi, thank you Jiutian."

Magistrate Li did not dare to think about anything else and only asked about the murder committed by Cui Fude and Cui Dalang.

Before Jiutian could say anything, Yin Jinan said to Magistrate Li: "This case is not for nothing."

Magistrate Li immediately said, "That's right. Don't worry. For a major case like this, the government will definitely reward you."

Jiu Tian pinched her hands together and looked at her second uncle with a smile on her face: "Second uncle is the best to me!"

"Silly!" Yin Jinan glared at her coldly.

Magistrate Li also smiled and said, "Xiao Jiutian, can you tell me about the case now?"

Jiutian said: "Five years ago, Cui Fude and Cui Dalang went to the county town to sell grain. When they came back, they killed Li Changhe from Changkeng Village."

That day Li Changhe went to the county town to sell grain. His sister's family lived in the county town, and she asked him to take twenty taels of silver to honor his parents.

When Li Changhe was buying buns, Cui Fude and his son saw the other person's silver bag and saw that he was alone, so they became evil-minded.

They were planning along the way, and at the stone bridge, they eagerly invited Li Changhe to rest and eat some dry food together before continuing their journey.

Li Changhe was deceived and got off the donkey cart. Under the bright moonlight, Li Changhe was strangled to death by Cui Fude and his son.

The two men strangled Li Changhe to death, stole the silver, and drove his donkey cart to the neighboring county overnight, dug a pit to bury him, and sold the donkey and cart for another fifty taels of silver.

County Magistrate Li gritted his teeth when he heard this.

Jiutian told the detailed burial location and how Cui Fude and Cui Dalang killed people.

"Oh, by the way, if they don't admit it, you can go to the neighboring county to look for ..."

They told the old man who bought their donkey cart, but others didn't recognize him, but that person recognized both of them.

County Magistrates Li and Wang interrogated Cui Fude and Cui Dalang, but the two refused to admit anything.

Magistrate Wang looked at Magistrate Li and said with a smile, "How about it? Are you convinced?"

Magistrate Li gave a thumbs up sincerely: "This kid is very good at predicting things."

After that, he called the yamen runners: "Call the old man who bought the donkey cart, and call Li Changhe's family as well."

The old man who was buying the car came with his son.

That year they bought the donkey cart of Cui Fude and Cui Dalang. Cui Dalang said he wanted to drink some water, and the old man was very polite and went into the house to pour water. At that moment, the father and son grabbed the old man's clothes and sheets on the drying line and ran away.

When the old man came out after pouring out the water, he didn't find anyone and hadn't realized that his clothes had been stolen.

When the son came back, he saw that all the clothes in the yard were gone, so he asked the old man where his clothes were. The old man then realized that they were stolen, and he wanted to settle the score with Trefford for all these years.

The old man recognized the Treffords at a glance.

When Li Changhe's family confronted the old man, the black donkey, the two-wheeled cart... all the characteristics matched, and with the bones dug out, Li's family was filled with hatred and tears.

Everyone in the town was scared out of their wits. With such a murderer around them, they were very glad that they had not had any major conflicts with Trefford for so many years.

They all knelt down and begged the county magistrate, saying that they had no idea they had killed anyone and had not covered up any of the murders, and begged them not to be implicated.

Magistrate Li naturally did not want to be implicated. This man was greedy for money and concealed it well, so it really had nothing to do with his neighbors.

There is no way to escape the death penalty.

Two sets of shackles were used to drag Cui Fude and Cui Dalang away and put them in jail.

Li Changhe's family cried and wailed, their silver was all stolen, Lao Li was dead, Cui Fude and Cui Dalang were dead, and they couldn't get their silver back.

County Magistrate Li originally wanted to implicate Minister Cui in this matter, but unfortunately he was only a seventh-rank official and did not dare to offend the officials in the capital.

The case ends here.

No matter how good the relationship between County Magistrate Wang and County Magistrate Li is, it is not easy to force County Magistrate Li to slander Minister Cui.

County Magistrate Li stayed here for three days and then returned to the yamen. County Magistrate Wang brought a doctor to check Yin Jinan's leg injury.

Doctor Lin felt Yin Jin'an's pulse and said in surprise, "All your internal injuries have healed. If you take good care of yourself for a month, you will definitely be in good health."

Jiutian grinned and said, "Second uncle, you will soon recover."

After Doctor Lin left, County Magistrate Wang said to Yin Jin'an apologetically, "I originally thought of asking Cui Fude to bite Minister Cui and blackmail him.

Minister Cui was blackmailed, so we must silence Cui Fude to prevent future troubles. In this way, I can bring down Minister Cui and avenge you.

However, there is a big risk in doing so, as Minister Cui might try to silence you first.

So after much thought, we decided to get rid of Cui Fude first. Minister Cui would not dare to come to Longmen Town easily to avoid suspicion, so you will be safe."

Yin Jinan is not stupid, and his revenge cannot be avenged by County Magistrate Wang alone.

"Don't worry. When I recover, I will go to see Minister Cui in person," said Yin Jinan.

"The most important thing now is to take good care of your health,"

County Magistrate Wang heaved a sigh of relief. He and County Magistrate Li were no match for Minister Cui, and he also owed Jiu Tian a debt of gratitude for saving his life. Yin Jinan was calculating just to give him a way out.

The Treffords were sentenced to immediate execution.

Zhu Lizheng in the town took the lead and drove all of Trefford's family out of Longmen Town.

He forced the Cui family to collect one hundred taels of silver as compensation to Yin Jinan.

Zhu Lizheng was not fair and honest, but he could see that Yin Jinan was not someone who was easy to mess with. How could a person who was supported by two county magistrates be a simple person?

He was afraid that the fact that he gave advice to the Bai family would be exposed sooner or later, so he simply drove him out and let him die outside to put an end to it all.
