I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

Li Yong didn't know that Tao Zui was a human until the last time he didn't give up, but he always made friends without asking where they came from. Whether Tao Zui was a human or a demon had little to do with him.What he didn't expect was——

"Intoxicated, how old are you this year?!"

When Tao Zui heard this question, he almost fell off the ridge of the roof: "...Is this very important?"

Li Yong nodded: "Of course, it's very important! How old are you? She's a scorpion demon who is always short of Brother Tao and grows up. She calls you Tao's great-grandson just to take advantage of you!"

Tao Zui: ...You have completely missed the point.

"What? You still want to defend her?" Li Yong sat down calmly, "I thought you had been a demon for hundreds of years, no wonder you are so hesitant, I didn't expect you to be a cub."

Cub?Intoxicated and suffocated, this sounds too unfriendly.

"It's hard for you to hold back until now. Are you squatting here because you want to recognize him?" Li Yong's voice suddenly became hollow, and his face became extremely serious, "I advise you not to."

Tao Zui shook his head in denial: "No, he doesn't deserve it!"

There is a strong hatred hidden in these words. Under what circumstances would a son hate his biological father?This is probably a sad story.

"That's it. What you did in the past, you will continue to do it now. As for what Mr. Cheng and the others investigated, it has nothing to do with you. You just have to pretend that you don't know."

Tao Zui held the jug, his face full of pain: "I... can't do it, Li Yong, he is a heinous villain, I knew he was this kind of person a long time ago, but I let it go, do you understand? If I...if I can be ruthless, no innocent people will be killed by him!"

"I let him go!"

Li Yong finally understands what reveling in is obsessed with, but whoever revels in is a bit selfish, he won't take advantage of such a dead end.

"Then why did you choose to let him go?"

There were tears on Tao Zui's face, he lowered his head, and his voice was faintly crying: "Mother, before she died, told me not to hate him and let me live a good life, but I didn't do anything!"

This sounds like a story about a loveless scholar abandoning his wives and children, but the rules in the world are true. If the son sues the father and the son kills the father, he will be poked to death. If the intoxication is a human being, mother Tao's last words There is nothing wrong with it.

"Intoxicated, have you thought about a question?"

"what?"

Li Yong pointed to the bottom and said: "From the moment you became a demon, he is no longer your father, he is a human, you are a demon, a human cannot give birth to a demon, you understand what I mean? "

"Is that right?"

"Of course." Li Yong Qingyue's voice sounded, "Zao Zui, you should recognize your identity earlier, you are a demon, not a human, a demon's life is very long, Xiong Xiong is just a small passerby in your life, If you always have this kind of mentality, you used to have no mortal friends, but now you have, and decades later, if Mr. Cheng dies of old age, you will be too sad."

Tao Zui looked up in astonishment, he had never considered this question.

"On the contrary, Mr. Cheng, as a human being, has considered this issue early on. Obviously he accepted it well and is not depressed by it." After Li Yong finished speaking, he said, "You should really learn from him in this respect. If he comes To be a demon is definitely the most carefree demon in the world."

In this regard, Li Yong is not stingy with compliments.

Tao Zui also admitted quite happily: "I'm really not as good as him, whether it's a human or a monster, I prefer Brother Cheng's temper."

Many people in this world want to live like Lord Cheng, including him, but most of them are ordinary people, obsessed with love, bound by family affection, unable to break free from the shackles they were born with.

It was him who couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart.

Li Yong nodded when he heard the words: "Indeed, there are very few people in this world who are as transparent as Mr. Cheng. I have lived for nearly a thousand years, and I haven't met many people like him, but you are not bad, drunk. You don’t make friends with monsters casually.”

Intoxicated: "...Should I be honored?"

"Of course, there are not many demons as good as you. You may not have realized that you are a rare non-killing demon. This is actually very good."

Intoxicated but disapproving: "Sometimes, I hate myself for being like this."

"I see you, I just think too much, and I don't know who raised you. It feels like I want to raise you to be a perfect person. There is no perfect existence in this world. You hide your emotions well." That's great, don't you feel uncomfortable like this?" Anyway, we chatted today, and Li Yong didn't mind talking more, "There are many wicked people in this world, and Xiong Xiong is just one of them. How old are you? If you want to take other people's faults onto yourself and become intoxicated, you must have drunk too much wine, right?"

Tao Zui finally let go of the flagon in his hand, shook it lightly, there was not much wine left in it: "Maybe, I've drank too much wine these years."

Since he was very young, his mother taught him to be a good person. It is best to be personable, know poetry and songs, and understand the principles of economics and economics. To be the son of a high official.

But it's a pity that Xiong Xiong is not the person in the mother's mind. This person has been in the officialdom for decades, and he only became a county magistrate. , It can be seen that being a "son of a high official" does not require too many rules.

What Li Yong said is correct, he has indeed never left the past.

He is not what his mother expected at all, and he can't just let it go. He wants Xiong Xiong to pay for his and his mother's life, and he wants Xiong Xiong to repent because of it, instead of doing nothing like now and letting Xiong Xiong do nothing because of other things. If he dies for a crime, he will not be able to give justice to his mother and him until death.

He hated himself for being indecisive now.

"If you drink too much, sober yourself up. If you really haven't figured out how to be a monster, then go to Mr. Cheng and ask how to be a human being. It's better than not being human or being a monster now."

Tao Zui was stunned for a moment, put the jug aside casually, and said in a low voice: "Brother Cheng also said the same thing as you."

When Li Yong heard it, he was quite happy: "That is, it means that Master Cheng and I have a good understanding."

"...Master Cheng probably doesn't want this consonance."

"That's up to him, don't look at it, let's go back to Tangxi for the New Year's Eve dinner!" Li Yong was just about to push Jiu Zui away when he saw a man in an official robe walking towards the backyard in a hurry , the expression was flustered visible to the naked eye, and he had already guessed the identity of this person when he saw the intoxicated expression.

"He's Xiong Xiong?" He doesn't look a bit like Tao Zui, this look is too earthy, it's like a gift from God, no wonder he's only a county magistrate until now.

Tao Zui nodded silently, just as he was about to leave, Li Yong dragged him to the backyard: "Let's go, let's see if we can help Master Cheng."

Tao Zui originally refused, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he swallowed it back.

Xiong Xiong rushed into Mrs. Xiong's room in a panic, pushed back the left and right, closed the door tightly and shouted: "It's all about you! It's all over now, you didn't say that the man surnamed Zhou has friendship with the general in Fucheng ah!"

Mrs. Xiong didn't feel flustered, she just said: "Why are you so anxious, the man surnamed Zhou is dead. Have you found the evidence my father asked you to find?"

"The Zhou family has been searched from top to bottom, and the two servants are now under the control of General Yang Shen. How do you say I should investigate?" Xiong Xiong anxiously walked around the room, "I see, there is no evidence at all, and I have searched everywhere."

"This is impossible, Husband, you have to think about it, this is your last chance for promotion." Mrs. Xiong also had some anxiety on her face when she heard that. She didn't want to be just the magistrate's wife for the rest of her life.

"Promotion and promotion, you know about promotion, do you know that if this matter is found out by the general surnamed Yang, it will be a problem whether we can keep our heads!" Xiong Xiong was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but his hands Dazed for a moment, he quickly realized that the wife he married again was not someone he could beat and scold at will.

"It's not that you are useless. I was the one who was blind at the beginning, and thought you were a big deal. Who knew that you were just a county magistrate, and I lost all face at my sisters!" Mrs. Xiong As he said that, he also became ruthless, "Xiong Xiong, you must wait halfway through this matter. Even if you don't want to think about yourself, you should think about our son. If you quit now, how will you let him live in the future!"

"That's not all you are used to! You are so stubborn, you only know how to mess around all day long!"

The couple are still scolding each other, good guy, those words are not heavy, even the originally depressed intoxication can't stop being shocked, he thought Xiong Xiong's wife and child were happy all these years, who knows...

But soon, the couple got tired of scolding, and sat down to exploit how to search the Zhou Mansion. Madam Xiong is indeed a ruthless person. She said that since she couldn't find any evidence, she might as well set the Zhou Mansion on fire.

That Zhou Mansion was located in a private house, and arson would definitely spread to the surrounding people, Xiong Xiong obviously knew it, but after thinking for a moment, he agreed to Mrs. Xiong's proposal.

"If you can't find it again, this plan is also feasible."

Madam Xiong smiled triumphantly: "That is, if you had listened to me earlier, you would not be just a county magistrate now."

When Xiong Xiong heard this, he became unhappy again, but he wisely didn't show it.

This couple is really good, Li Yong squinted his eyes and glanced at Reveling, and then said: "I have to send this news to General Yang, you should go back to Tangxi and tell Master Cheng first."

Tao Zui immediately nodded: "Okay."

It is convenient for the demon to travel, and Taozui soon arrived at the Tangxi Yamen, and as soon as he walked in, he could feel the overbearing aroma of food in the courtyard, which was completely different from the bustle and bustle of the Jinhua Mansion that was piled up with money.For some reason, he felt relieved all of a sudden.

"Master Cheng, take a step to speak."

Cheng Jin lent Yao a step: "Why, didn't Li Yong find you?"

Tao Zui shook his head: "It's not about this, it's about Zhou's house. Xiong Xiong wants to set fire to Zhou's house to destroy the evidence."

Cheng Jin glanced at Reveling, oh well, it seems that setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve can no longer satisfy the magistrate Xiong.
