Xu Ye frowned after taking the file and carefully checking it.

The coroner testified that Li Tongzong's death was neither a disease nor a disaster, but a peaceful death in his sleep.

But the old servant at home heard the master's cry for help and scolding late at night. When he left, he was already dead, so he was very sure that he was a murder for money.

I thought to myself: Things are not easy to handle.

If it is really a murderer who seeks money, then the murderer can kill people in the heavily guarded Li's mansion without shadow. How could he be an ordinary thief with such means?

Danger! Great danger!

As usual, Xu Ye planned to find an opportunity to refuse.

There are some headless cases in the county every year, and this one is not bad.

He looked up and saw Lord Liu blinking at him.

I knew it in my heart that this was the meaning of drinking and chatting in a different place.

The two of them turned into the East Flower Hall.

Lord Liu drank a sip of wine and said leisurely: "The official performance exam that happens once every two years is coming. If nothing unexpected happens, I can only get a comment."

Although it is extremely rare to be able to "not lose" these days, Xu Ye knew that Liu Ziyuan wanted to ascend to the Emperor's Hall and perform the feat of turning the tide and turning the tide.

That being the case, such comments are far from enough.

Lord Liu continued: "Prime Minister Li Tong has a close relationship with Hong Sihai, the eunuch in charge of seals. Every year, he sends a lot of money to the palace as a filial piety. Now that Prime Minister Li Tong dies unclearly, how can Eunuch Hong be happy?"

Xu Ye understood.

I thought to myself: I don’t plan to give me a chance to refuse. Next, I will definitely be moved to understand the truth and “forced” me to take on this case.

Sure enough, Lord Liu slapped the table suddenly, with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "The affairs of civil and military affairs in the country are becoming more and more corrupt, and the disasters of strange things and evil spirits are often seen. How can we have ambitions sit down and watch? It should be..."

A passionate speech was so heartwarming and tear-jerking.

Xu Ye took out his ears and felt drowsy.

Then I fell asleep.

"Captain Xu, you're paying your salary."

"Where? Where?"

Xu Ye opened his eyes and saw Lord Liu staring at him with a pale face.

At this time, as long as you are not embarrassed, the embarrassing one will be others.

I immediately said with a serious look on my face: "You are right, I am a humble person to be taught."

Lord Liu is too lazy to talk too much.

"In a word, will you help me get the case done?"

"There are limited abilities in the job..."

"Prime Minister Li Tong has a beautiful wife and concubine in his family. Now he has lost his support and is in a time when he needs care and care. Aren't you moved?"

"Bizhi likes unopened..."

"He still has a wealth of wealth in his family, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and countless rare treasures. If he accidentally misses a few, I can think that I don't know."

"… Can the salary of a low-ranking position be increased?

"I'm not too short of twelve taels a month? I'll add 15 taels to you. You have to know that hiring a martial arts master at the ninth level to handle a case is only 100 taels a month. Just your three-legged cat kung fu, just think carefully about it yourself."

How many?

Ninth grade, one hundred taels?

When it comes to money, Xu Ye is not sleepy.

Immediately stretched out my hand and pressed towards the middle of the stone table.

The force surged, leaving a palm print half an inch deep on it instantly.

Lord Liu was so shocked that he almost swallowed the wine glass.

"You...you've earned it???"

Xu Ye smiled and clasped his fists and bowed.

"I have been patronized by the patronage, and I don't dare to ask for a penny every month."

Lord Liu was shocked and angry, and could not speak for a long time.

As a child of the Liu family in Qingzhou, his knowledge is far beyond ordinary.

How could such a palm power be comparable to that of an ordinary ninth level?

But this kind of greedy and fearful death does not look like a master of grades.

"Sir, do you want to say good things? If you can't make a deal, we still have a relationship."

"call--"

Liu Ziyuan took a deep breath and calmed down.

Deep in mind and hiding his cultivation to this day? What I saw at this time is Xu Ye’s cost?

Or can you achieve ninth-level cultivation in just a few days?

No matter which one is a help that cannot be ignored for him and even for Liu.

"Your salary is still twelve taels."

"ah?"

"But every month, the Liu family in Qingzhou will give you three hundred taels, are you willing?"

Xu Ye thought about it.

This is a good deal. In addition to the official salary, there is an additional income of 300 taels. Building a house that costs only 200 taels.

If you make a house with one and a half a month, where can you find such a good business?

"How are you thinking about it? If you think it's too little, you can still..."

"Thank you, I don't want to."

Liu Ziyuan paused and said in confusion: "Why?"

Xu Ye poured him a glass of wine.

He smiled and said, "I uphold justice and laws because things in the world should be like this. If I collect the money from Liu, what am I upholding?"

Liu Ziyuan widened his eyes and stared at Xu Ye.

a long time.

Suddenly he raised his head and laughed.

"It's worthy of you. Even when you were on the dock, you had to get back the wages for those coolies even if you were broken by someone and crawling."

As he said that, he stood up and bowed to Xu Ye.

He said solemnly: "I am not as good as you in this regard."

Xu Ye hurried forward to stop him.

What if I receive the gift from the people in charge of the county, what if I get worn shoes in the future?

Seeing Lord Liu's face change, he said with a stern face: "Now you go out for me. If you can't handle the Li family's case well, I will deduct all your salary!"

"Ah? If you don't talk anymore, I can't stand the test..."

"go out!"

After leaving the East Flower Hall, Xu Ye turned a corner and walked towards the class room.

Most of the arresters work on business on weekdays.

The two-story wooden building, when the wind blew, it might collapse at any time.

Ten months ago, most of the people were sent out to escort the students to Qingzhou Prefecture for the exam.

The road is long and the road is blocked, and it is estimated that it will take two or three months to turn around.

Apart from those who are still patrolling the streets, there are only two people left on duty in the small building.

Zhao Dezhu, who was born with a sad face, was watching "The Story of Meixiang" with relish.

His nephew Zhao Ziyin lay on the table and dozed off, leaving a long saliva along the corner of his mouth.

When Xu Ye came in, his face turned dark when he saw this scene.

"cough--"

Cough hard.

Zhao Dezhu kept his eyes on the book and said casually: "Just leave a note if you have something to do. Let's talk about it when our boss, Captain Xu, comes back. Don't disturb me from reading and studying."

Xu Ye's face became darker.
