Not long after, the master brought back a deed of betrayal and handed it to Liu Huaian and said: "This is the deed of betrayal. I have prepared everything for you. You just need Mrs. Li to sign and pledge it."
Liu Huaian took the deed of betrayal and said with a smile: "Thank you very much. I will get this confession later."
"I'm waiting for you. Huai'an, you can send her to Hangzhou City. One hundred taels of silver will allow you to rent a small house in Hangzhou City for a year."
"Of course, how could I do something that would disgrace the county magistrate?" Liu Huaian stood up and walked out. He could only make one more trip.
It was already very late when it was time to have dinner. Liu Huaian was eating while looking at those magical powers. He didn't understand them very well and had no one to teach them, so he could only learn them on his own for the time being.
Li Rouxue had finished her meal. She sat next to Liu Huaian and looked at her. She put her feet in the hot water basin. Her white little feet were already red, and her two big toes were constantly fighting.
"Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?"
"Then you are really dead. You are stupid, but you are not a fool." Liu Huaian drank all the wine in the wine cup and continued: "Tomorrow I will take you to Hangzhou and buy a house, and you will live there.
There, you have to wear a veil when you go out, do you understand?"
Li Rouxue smiled and said: "Okay, don't worry, I will never expose myself. People in Qingshui Town generally don't go to Hangzhou, and not many people in the town know me. The risk of exposure is not high."
"What I ask for is nothing." Liu Huaian turned to look at her and said, "Once you are exposed, I will also be in bad luck. I let you live not only because of my promise to you, but also because of lust and use.
The premise of all this is that you don't threaten me. Once you make a move to threaten me, don't worry, I will kill you myself without anyone else doing it."
Li Rouxue nodded and said: "I understand, Master. Do you want me to help Master prepare foot-washing water?"
"Of course." Liu Huaian stood up and said, "Send it to the bedroom."
Liu Huaian sat on the bed and continued reading. Li Rouxue brought the foot-washing water to Liu Huaian and helped him wash his feet.
"Master, what are you going to do?"
Liu Huaian frowned and asked, "What to do?"
"How are you going to deal with them?"
Liu Huaian was silent for a moment and said: "To be honest, I can't deal with them. After all, my strength is not enough now and I need to take advantage of it. As for whether I can succeed or not, I don't care. I just want to gain strength in this whirlpool."
"Oh, do you need me to stay with you tonight?"
Liu Huaian shook his head slightly and said: "I need to get up early tomorrow to see how things will develop, and I can't get naked before opening the door."
"Where should I sleep tonight? There is only one bed in your house."
Liu Huaian put down the book and looked at her. Only now did he remember that the bed where his parents slept was chopped up and burned because there was no firewood in the house for heating.
If it were summer, we could still lay the floor, but it was already November 20th, and it was very cold after nightfall.
"Sleep separately." Liu Huaian put down his book and lay on the bed.
After Li Rouxue washed the dishes and poured out the foot-washing water, she entered the bedroom, blew out the candles and went to bed.
Her body was very tense, and the cold moonlight shone on the bed. Liu Huaian looked at the exposed little feet in front of her, which were delicate and beautiful, and the ten toes were as beautiful as crystal grapes.
Liu Huaian closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, when the rooster crowed three times, Liu Huaian got up, put on his clothes and went to the Yamen.
Yang Qun was already in the room preparing to work.
"Huai'an, you came just in time. You can wait for me here later. If I encounter something that I don't understand, I will come and ask you."
"Okay!" Liu Huaian poured two cups of tea, and Yang Qun left the room to look for the magistrate.
The magistrate, Chen Kui, and Yang Qun gathered in the magistrate's room. The three of them had finished reading the booklet.
"Mr. Li is dead?" The magistrate looked at Chen Kui and asked, "Where is the body?"
Chen Kui smiled and said: "It has been left in the back mountain. It must have been eaten by wild dogs long ago."
Yang Qun quickly came to the rescue and said: "The Li family is a trivial matter. Our biggest problem now is this matter. Lord Magistrate, this matter may involve the Demon Cult. I hope you can send a letter to the court to request the support of the Heavenly Guard."
The magistrate nodded and said: "Of course I can, but it will take at least two months to find out everything. Only in this way can we get greater credit. Master, you have seen a lot.
You know a lot, can you tell me what to do?"
Yang Qun smiled and said, "I'm going to relieve myself."
After Yang Qun came back, he said with a smile: "The deceased was just a small water worker, but he could know it so clearly. It means that they transported it all at once, rather than in batches. It also means that Li Mansion is on the water."
Nearby. As far as I know, there are three places with the surname Li that are close to the water source. We can start from these three.
Not only that, the water workers are also divided into gangs. We can investigate the gang to which the deceased belonged. Once we find someone who has committed a crime, we will directly bring him to Qingshui County for trial. With your background, Mr. County Magistrate, who dares to object?"
The magistrate nodded and said, "Yes, but where should we start?"
Yang Qun stood up and said with a smile: "I'm going to relieve myself."
When he came back, he continued to say confidently: "It's very simple. We can start from two aspects. The first is the flow of large quantities of medicinal materials, and the second is the medicine residues and medicinal materials in the garbage they discard. It is impossible to disappear.
.”
The magistrate smiled and nodded, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Master is really well-informed and powerful."
"It's ridiculous." Yang Qun smiled and stroked his beard and said, "I suggest that we don't look for outsiders, only people we can trust to avoid being exposed."
The magistrate nodded and asked, "Yes, but how do we get the evidence?"
Yang Qun stood up and said, "I'm going to relieve myself."
The magistrate coughed twice and asked: "Master, do you want me to help you find a doctor? This is a big problem."
Yang Qun coughed twice and said, "I'm old, there's nothing I can do about it, it's not a disease."
The magistrate shook his head slightly and said, "It's not because he is older. My grandfather is not like this."
"Ahem!" Yang Qun coughed twice to relieve the embarrassment, "It's okay, it's okay, I won't bother you."
After Yang Qun came back again, he said: "Lock the elixirs they refined by the type and quantity of medicinal materials. The bones generally will not disappear quickly. Determining the location of the bones can convict them."
The magistrate smiled and nodded: "Okay, then who should we ask to investigate?"
"Our new reporter, Liu Huaian, is a very careful person, and he is competent. If he hadn't reminded me yesterday, it would have been difficult for me to find something wrong with Mrs. Li's clothes." Yang Qun handed over his hands and said, "I hope the magistrate will let Liu Huaian go.
"
"Okay, just listen to Master. Let's send all the government officials out and let them investigate secretly." The magistrate stood up and said, "Master, this is your important discovery and must be rewarded."
The magistrate handed Yang Qun a one hundred tael silver note.
Yang Qun reluctantly took it. He knew that the county magistrate would get most of the credit this time, and he could only get a small part. This was the case in Da'an officialdom, where family background determined everything.
After Yang Qun returned to the room, he handed the banknote to Liu Huaian and said, "Huaian, it's all up to you. I'll let you lend the government carriage to you. Can you drive a horse?"
Liu Huaian stood up, took the banknote, and said with a smile: "Riding is one of the six arts. Thank you Master!"
"I want to thank you." Yang Qun sat on the chair and looked up at Liu Huaian and asked, "Do you hate me for taking away your credit?"
Liu Huaian shook his head gently. He didn't hate it. For Liu Huaian, Yang Qun was just a shield.
If this matter is exposed to the eyes of the Demon Cult, whoever charges first will die first.
Yang Qun lowered his head and said: "I'm sorry, I'm old and my son is not good enough. But I hope my grandson will be well. Whether my little grandson can leap over the dragon's gate depends on my performance this time. Huai'an, you still
You are young, smart, and powerful, and your future will be bright, but my old Yang family only has this chance. I'm sorry."
"Master, you don't have to be like this. I never care about this." Liu Huaian stood up and saluted and left. He said in his heart: He didn't care about the so-called opportunities in your eyes. The golden scales are originally dragons, so why jump over the dragon gate?
He believes that as long as Goldfinger is there, he doesn't have to worry about the future at all. This arrogance comes from that terrifying power.
At this moment, Liu Huaian can already feel that he has become stronger as if two people are working together, and there will be more in the future.
Liu Huaian drove the carriage out of the Yamen. Chen Kui, who had changed into civilian clothes, and the Yamen servants rode up to Liu Huaian and said, "Huaian, let's meet at Zuichun Tower at noon."
"Okay!" Liu Huaian took Li Rouxue to Hangzhou and bought a courtyard house for two thousand taels of silver.
After that, Liu Huaian inquired all the way and came to a sect. To be precise, it was a branch of a sect. The specifications were similar to those of a bodyguard agency, but it was located in a prosperous area of Hangzhou and the price was expensive.
Liu Huaian got off the carriage and saluted the guard: "Liu Huaian, come and open the door."
The guard smiled and said: "Please wait a moment, I will go and report."
After half a stick of incense, the guard came out and said, "Please follow me."
Liu Huaian followed the doorman to a room full of books, and into the room of an old man with white hair and white beard, whose eyebrows were like swords.
The old man pointed to a chair next to him and said: "Sit down, for one hundred taels of silver, you can be a good boy."
Liu Huaian smiled and nodded: "Sir, can you check my talent?"
"Add another hundred taels."
"Okay." Liu Huaian handed over the two hundred taels of silver and sat on the chair.
The old man walked up to Liu Huaian, pressed his head with one hand, and let out a sigh, then opened the door for Liu Huaian.
Liu Huaian felt that all the locks in his body had been opened. At this moment, he had lost all restrictions. As long as he kept working hard, he could continue to become stronger.
"Your talent is extremely high. Not only that, but there is also a very strange thing." The old man stroked his beard and said: "I seem to feel the talents of two people in you, but they are added to you alone.
It’s really weird, did you eat something?”
Liu Huaian shook his head gently and said, "No."
The old man nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Talents are divided into four levels. Heaven and earth are black and yellow. You are the lowest in heaven, but your weirdness allows you to be in the middle. Boy, your talent is very rare. Are you willing to worship me?
