Lu Bai and the others lived in Jinyi Weisheren's house.
While seizing the stolen money, we will sort out the cases that Jinyi Weishe has done.
Lu Bai stayed up late at night on the table in the middle of the bedroom, chatting with Lu Qinghuan.
In the center of the room, there were two large dolomitic copper braziers, filled with inch-long silver charcoal. The braziers burned red, so that the air in the room did not become very cold due to the entry of winter.
These silver charcoals are the best charcoal, with almost no smoke. They are almost the charcoal that emperors and aristocratic families must choose when heating in winter.
The fact that Jinyi Weishe's people were able to obtain this charcoal shows how luxurious they lived and how much money they made.
"Sure, he forced the craftsman to sell his house, sell his daughter, and move his family to the capital. His left hand bought the house at a low price and sold it at a high price. He took advantage of both sides." Lu Bai couldn't help but sigh and marvel.
These Jin Yiwei are really good at making money. From redeeming money to selling children, selling houses and land, it has almost formed a closed loop, and it is all about groupization and industrial development.
What's more, these Jin Yiwei also extort money. What they often do is to randomly select a fat sheep and slaughter them instead of spending their own money when dining in a restaurant.
And the method of killing is ever-changing, as small as a pair of shoes.
Because when this dynasty was founded, there were regulations on what clothes and shoes should be worn by people of any status. However, as time went by and productivity developed, people's lives were no longer as poor as before, and there were more styles of shoes and clothes.
Farmers and businessmen can all wear good shoes - this is inevitably over the limit, but no one usually checks it.
However, there are still caring people in this world.
I don’t know which genius dug this law out of the pile of old papers and used it to blackmail people, so that the Jin Yiweishe people never paid for their meals.
"It's so wicked." Lu Bai took a sip of wine and shook his head.
However, he felt that he had learned a lesson in his heart. If he met a bad person or evil person in the future and there was no evidence at hand, he could follow this rule to skin the evil person.
While he was speaking, he looked to the side and saw that Lu Qinghuan was leaning on the clean bed and fell into a deep sleep.
After days of running around, even on the boat, her body couldn't bear it.
Lu Bai stood up, walked to the bed and covered Lu Qinghuan with a quilt, then walked to the window and closed the window, but not tightly, but staggered a crack. Although the silver charcoal was high-quality charcoal, Lu Bai still had to be careful.
poisoned by carbon monoxide.
He staggered a gap and stuck it with something to make sure it wouldn't close. He took a sip of wine and was about to turn back to the table to sort out the things with the wine as his companion. Lu Bai suddenly thought deeply - in the middle of the yard
There is something.
As a practitioner of the Sky-Breaking Realm, Lu Bai's telekinesis extends almost all the time, and it extends so far that any disturbance in the two courtyards before and after him can hardly escape his telekinesis.
However, this thing that came in was not noticed by his mind until it reached the backyard.
Lu Bai used the crack in the window to scan around the yard. There was no one in the yard, but Lu Bai's mind clearly told him that something was moving in the yard.
When this thing walked to a room, and the door of the room was staggered to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, and when the door opened in a blink of an eye, Lu Bai knew that there was someone in the yard.
This is obviously an invisible thing - a ghost.
Lu Bai immediately took out the eye gauze he had won in the lottery, put it on his left eye, and then scanned the yard. Suddenly, he saw a dark-faced man with a full beard and a long sword in his hand.
Appeared in Lu Bai's field of vision.
He was sneaky, and from time to time he would poke his head in front of the room window, or blow a breath, slowly open the door, and check the people inside. Sometimes when he had no choice, he would even walk through the wall and enter the room.
.
He was looking for something and couldn't find it.
After a while, the man came to Lu Bai's room. He saw a crack in the window, so he stood in front of the window and blew gently.
Squeak!
The window opened, but before he could see the scene in the room, he saw a man wearing a black veil standing in front of him like a one-eyed dragon with a cold light in his eyes.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" The big man was startled, "Ghost!"
He turned around to run away, but after five or six steps, he stopped and said, "Hey, that's not right, I am a ghost. I am still the city god, and I am in charge of ghosts!"
At this point, the big man became bolder. He turned around and asked Lu Bai, "Who are you?"
Lu Bai came out of the sky and stood in front of him. The frightened man who called himself City God took three or four steps back, "Breaking, breaking the sky! You, what are you doing? Don't come over. I'm telling you, I'm dead too."
No more-"
Just as he was talking, the City God saw the shadow at Lu Bai's feet, "Hey, are you a human?"
Lu Bai did not speak, but walked around him, "Are you the City God? Tsk, tsk, tsk, is there really such a thing as a City God in this world?"
The City God man was unhappy, "What are you talking about? What is this nonsense? Let me tell you, I am the City God in a dignified and legitimate manner. I have a serious position in the imperial establishment. It is not a nonsense!"
Lu Bai was confused, "What is the establishment of the imperial court?"
He understood the meaning of these words, which was equivalent to official duties, but this court——
Lu Bai was curious, "Which court gave you the establishment?"
Is it the heaven in heaven?
"Which court is this city in the hands of? Of course I am a member of the Southern Dynasty." The City God said angrily, and then asked Lu Bai, "You can actually see me?"
Lu Bai asked back, "As a master of the Sky Breaking Realm, I can't see you?"
Chenghuang obviously had never been a master of the Sky Breaking Realm. He thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense."
But he went on to say: "I tell you, don't hinder me from carrying out my official duties. The whole court is standing behind me."
Lu Bai nodded, "Yes, yes, I know. It seems that I am also standing behind you."
Lu Bai took out a Jinyiwei waist badge from his body and said, "I am Jinyiwei Qianhu, and I have just been promoted to Fusi Town Governor of Nanzhen. Who do you think the official position between us is more powerful?"
"Uh-" The City God was stunned, and he reluctantly lowered his hand, "The City God has met Mr. Jin Yiwei."
Lu Bai stopped talking.
What he said was not a rhetorical question, but a question. Now he knew who had a high official position.
"Grandma's." Lu Bai was surprised in his heart. He never expected that he, the governor of Nanzhen Fusi, had a higher official rank than many Jin Yiwei, but he was still above the city god.
So, he asked curiously: "You mean, almost all city gods are appointed by the imperial court?"
The city god nodded, "Of course."
"Not the sky?" Lu Bai pointed to the starry sky above his head.
The City God shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, you don't understand. The emperor is the son of heaven, and all the officials in heaven are under the control of heaven. All officials on earth, whether they are human beings, monsters or ghosts, who want to ascend, must be under the control of the emperor."
"
Lu Bai was stunned again.
His visit to Beijing this time was inevitably a fight between dragons and tigers, so Gu Qinghuan told him a lot about the institutions and officials in the officialdom. Although Lu Bai couldn't say that he knew everything in detail, he could still understand a little bit. However, even if Lu Bai searched his guts,
, I still didn’t expect that organization to grant officials to ghosts.
He asked curiously: "Who gave you this official title?"
The City God smiled and said, "Why, Sir, you also want to buy an official position after your death? Let me tell you, this City God's official position may not be underestimated, but the money is quite expensive - ahem -"
Cheng Huang felt that he had said too much, so he answered Lu Bai's question with as much care as gold: "Peach Blossom Temple, National Master."
