Jingyang County is close to the Jingshui River, and trade events in the north and south are constantly occurring day and night.

It is also located at the junction of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and people traveling from east to west are endless.

Therefore, the two streets and markets in the county are quite lively, especially the East City.

Xu Ye did not stop all the way and walked straight through the south gate.

Sun Wanquan was half a step behind and followed closely with a slight look on his face. How could he have any authority as a county lieutenant?

"Brother Xu, Sun had the honor of seeing Zhang Xiaowei from the garrison camp performing martial arts. Every move is like a tiger roaring, and a shot is like a stone and a gold crack. I thought he was a top master, but now when I see you, I realize that there is a heaven beyond the sky and someone beyond the sky..."

The flattering words only praise Xu Ye so that there is nothing in the sky and no on the earth.

"... Even Zheng Yunxian, who has won the top martial arts scholar and is praised by the emperor as a martial arts qualification once in a hundred years, may not be enough in my opinion."

Xu Ye couldn't stand it anymore.

It is said that good words are good for action, but people like to listen to flattery.

But these good words are like braised pork. If you eat too much, you will feel so fucked. You feel that your blood lipids are getting higher.

However, Xu Ye finally realized why Sun Wanquan was able to surpass him and became a county lieutenant.

If such shameless and willing to dominate the skills of flattery, if you still cannot reach the top and have a prosperous career, then there will be no law of nature and no law of kings.

Xu Ye shook his head with a wry smile.

"Sir Sun, I'm full, why don't you continue after a while?"

Sun Wanquan smiled like a flower and said hurriedly: "Okay, brother, I will be sent by Brother Xu in the future. If you ask me to go east, I will never go west, but let me go south..."

Another thing that shows loyalty, Xu Ye's blood lipids are even higher.

...

A cute little boy wearing a tiger-skin hat with two small buns exposed, holding candied haws in one hand and holding a kite in the other, giggling and running back and forth in the street market.

I accidentally tripped my left foot and fell to the ground with a "slap".

When I got up, I saw that the candied haws were covered with soil and the kite also cracked a large hole.

I suddenly grinned and cried.

Seeing this, the old Taoist priest who was setting up a stall on the side quickly stepped forward and comforted her.

The child cried even more and more sadly, and his tears and snot were applied to the old but clean Taoist robe of the Taoist priest.

"Don't cry, the old man will make you a trick, and make sure to turn your candied haws and kites back."

"Woooo, is it true? Grandpa Wukui, you won't lie to me, you'll lose all your teeth if you say lying to someone."

"Of course it's true."

The old Taoist priest said, then took out a grain of yellow rice from his pocket and placed it gently on the ground.

He recited the Dharma: "The Emperor of the Supreme One is as anxious as the law, grow, grow, grow quickly."

The original candied haws and kites disappeared without a trace.

A tender bud grows from yellow rice.

In a blink of an eye, it grew into a small tree the size of a palm.

Red candies hung on the treetops, exuding an attractive honey aroma.

A yellow fruit bears on the top of the tree.

The fruit cracked, and a small kite flew out, swayed slowly for a while, and fell into the little boy's hand.

The people around seemed to be commonplace, but they just stopped to watch and smiled and praised the old Taoist priest for a few words.

The little boy opened his mouth wide in shock, and then smiled happily after a moment.

"Grandpa Wukui, my candied haws and kites grew out of the tree."

The old Taoist priest handed the little tree over.

"Go and play, don't fall anymore."

"Thank you grandpa."

The little boy thanked him, his hands filled with them again, and then he giggled and ran away.

Xu Ye witnessed the whole process.

He sincerely praised: "Every time I see Master Wukui's wonderful method, I feel pleasing to the eye, and I am also glad that I am still alive and have never missed the beauty of the world."

"It's just a trick that's not good at it."

Taoist Wukui waved his hand a little embarrassedly, "Captain Xu is here to collect the stall fee? The old Taoist will get it for you, cough cough."

I coughed silently from time to time while talking.

"This time I'm just passing by, so the Taoist priest doesn't have to worry about it."

Xu Ye smiled and dissuaded.

"How is the business recently? Are there any people who are blindly looking to make trouble?"

"With Captain Xu and a group of brothers helping to clean up the market, life is much better, and we are living in peace."

"It's great. Xu wants to go back to the yamen to report his duties, so he won't bother the Taoist priest."

...

Return to the county government.

The majestic demeanor in the main hall is as old as before, but under the plaque that "sees the original heart", there has been a change of people.

The county magistrate Liu Ziyuan, a child of the Liu family in Qingzhou, read a lot of books and was knowledgeable. He seemed to be straightforward and upright in dealing with people, but in fact he had a general idea.

Xu Ye was still a coolie at the dock of Jingshui River. By chance, Lord Liu attracted the attention of him and was recruited into the county government and became an ordinary arrester.

After years of dealing with each other, the relationship between the two is quite familiar.

"I am not aware of my lord, I wish you a good success in advance."

Lord Liu blamed with a stern face: "Don't say anything bad. If someone is interested, he will think that this official will have nothing to do with Lord Zhou's death."

He glanced at Sun Wanquan intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Ye also looked over with a smile.

County Magistrate Sun shivered, and his eyes looked at his nose and nose, but his heart didn't dare to speak.

One has a high position and the other almost buried himself alive, and he can't afford to offend anyone.

I had to sigh in my heart: The tea is cold when people leave, and life is sad.

Lord Liu continued: "There has been a major incident in the county recently. Since Captain Xu, you are back, hurry up and go and do it."

"But it's Mr. Zhou's business?"

"Mr. Zhou died of illness. You don't need to investigate. I have already handed over the official documents. Perhaps the appointment of the new county magistrate will arrive soon."

Xu Ye blinked.

Lord Liu also blinked.

"Thank you for your hard work today, let's go and have a rest."

Sun Wanquan ran away in shame.

Without outsiders, speaking is much easier.

Lord Liu still had a stern face and asked dissatisfiedly: "Tell me, what do you have to send him away?"

Xu Ye took a few steps closer.

"I heard that before Lord Zhou died, he mentioned the name of Bei Zhi. Is it..."

Lord Liu waved his hand and interrupted, "Maybe he is confused, just pretend that he has no such thing, and I didn't mention it in the official document."

Xu Ye was grateful to Lord Liu for his care. After all, a little captain was involved in the death of the county magistrate. Even if he didn't die, he would have to lose his skin.

But I couldn't help but wonder.

Not this? How could there be anything bigger than the sudden death of a county magistrate?

Lord Liu opened a file casually.

"The pig from Zhang San's family in Xiahe Town was bitten to death by the dog from Li Si's family. Let you check..."

"ah?"

Xu Ye was stunned.

I thought to myself: I fought with the evil corpse for 300 rounds, but that was the cruel lie that the national teacher Wang Yanting wrote a book for him. Did you actually ask me to deal with the dog biting a pig?

Lord Liu was alive and continued, "There is no need to check it out."

Xu Ye:...

"A few days ago, the old servant of the Li family came to report that the master died of unknown understanding and the family was not peaceful, so you can deal with it."

"Which Li family?"

"Who else can be there? Of course, it is the richest man in Jingyang County, Li Jiye, who once served as the magistrate of Qingzhou."

"Is the richest man dead? Hehe, ahem, that's really a big case."
