Chapter 430: The target is locked, and the next step is to come and beat the opponent to death
"Report to the Lord, there are merchants coming to report that someone is using official money without permission!"
The yamen servant's report cheered up Mr. Shao'an. It was only the second day, but the other party couldn't bear it anymore?
"Please come with Taoist Master Lu to listen." Mr. Shao'an said hurriedly.
The Yamen servant immediately went to do it, and Lu Xingshi was invited over quite speechlessly. He had to use the official power of Lord Shao'an to track down the whereabouts of the Great Immortal Huanxi, so it was not easy to offend the other party's face.
The merchant was quickly summoned and told the inside story.
It turned out that Xu Yin, who was doing business in a herbal medicine shop in Heizhu'er Lane across Junqiao, came to him to make purchases and spent a large amount of silver.
At first glance, the quality of the silver was unusual. After a second look, it turned out that there were indeed signs of being beaten. Then I came to report it to the official.
It is illegal to use official money for personal use.
Lord Shao'an summoned the steward of the warehouse and asked him to check the ingot of silver.
"Master Fu, this ingot of silver is indeed the official silver that was lost in the warehouse. Look here..." The steward immediately began to prove it. He certainly couldn't just talk empty talk, but had to provide evidence.
"Go get an ingot, give it to him, and add another one hundred taels of silver as a reward." Lord Shao'an said.
The official silver is gone, but there is still money for circulation. When someone encounters a problem, he reports it to the official as soon as possible. I don’t know how much trouble it has solved for him. I can’t just dig into it and not give him anything.
Reimburse the other party's losses and give rewards. In this way, one will have two, otherwise who will help you in the future.
The merchant was naturally very grateful.
"After you get the money, go back quickly and don't spread the news. If the news leaks out, I will be the first to punish you."
After giving the money to the merchant, Lord Shao'an also warned the merchant.
They haven't arrested anyone yet. If you preach everywhere and people run away, you will definitely be blamed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, I promise to keep it secret." The merchant hurriedly assured.
Although the merchants didn't know that the official silver in the warehouse was missing, they just thought that someone had secretly communicated with Qu Qian, and now the prince was going to clean it up.
As for keeping this merchant in the house temporarily, it is unrealistic.
The first is the news. Once the missing official silver is leaked, it will definitely make the entire Shao'an Mansion uneasy.
It's best to keep the impact to a minimum.
After the merchant left, Lord Shao'an opened his mouth and said to Lu Xingshi: "Taoist Master, why don't we go and see Xu Yin together?"
Lu Xingshi didn't know Xu Yin at all, who knew what kind of monster he was.
"Forget it, I'll just go with you." Lu Xingshi wanted to refuse, but seeing the other party's appearance, he finally agreed.
Think of it as earning some merit.
The master of the mansion quickly summoned three squads of government officials, city military guards and others, and headed towards Heizhuer Lane across the military bridge.
On the way, they learned about Xu Yin. He was a handsome young man, and he was also handsome.
It's just that both of his parents are dead, and he only has one master, who also passed away the year before last. He runs the shop by himself and makes a good living.
Recently, I got lucky and became a couple with a lady surnamed Bai.
From then on, the two of them lived a happy life.
Lu Xingshi took another look, wasn't this lady named Bai the white snake demon?
"What the hell is the white lady who will always be in Leifeng Pagoda..." Lu Xingshi complained silently in his heart, and then he realized one thing, that is, although the herring demon next to the white snake demon has turned into a woman, its gender seems to be male. Living?
Probably because of the male and female looks.
Fortunately, in the feudal era, things like Long Yang's favor were not a big deal. What's more important was that the other party looked almost like a woman, so it wouldn't be a big problem if Xu Yin really used it.
This is still the best situation, but I am afraid that when the time comes, the green fish demon will help Xu Yin cultivate the white snake demon, which will not be green enough to stage Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf on his head.
Everyone soon arrived at Xu Yin's herbal medicine shop.
"My lords and officials, I don't know what you are doing." Seeing a group of people approaching in a menacing manner, Xu Yin naturally hurried out to greet them.
Two burly government officials carried Xu Yin into the shop, and several military guards closed the door after everyone entered the shop.
"Xu Yin, do you recognize this silver ingot?" Lord Shao'an asked as he took out the official silver handed over by the merchant.
Xu Yin looked at the silver ingots in the hands of Lord Shao'an, and watched with distress as the government officers and guards searched and destroyed his medicinal materials.
"Reporting to your lord, I have seen it. I used this spindle to buy goods today. Shopkeeper Liao from the south can vouch for this." Xu Yin felt wronged. He was an upright person, how could he suffer such a misfortune.
"Where did this silver ingot come from?" Lord Shao An continued to ask.
"My wife came as a dowry to buy goods for me to make a living." Xu Yin said directly.
"Then you know that this ingot is the official silver stolen from the government's warehouse!" Prince Shao'an scolded him.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Yin was immediately confused, and his mind went blank: "I...I...I really don't know."
How could he know this? He had never even seen official silver. How could he know that it was not circulated and well-kept? He only knew that the silver was of good quality and must have come from a wealthy family. Unfortunately, his wife's previous husband who died before was a wealthy man from outside the family, so he married not only a widow, but a rich woman.
"Oh, you are not marrying a white lady, but a white snake demon."
"The personal maid I brought is a herring demon." Mr. Shao An told the truth.
Xu Yin's eyes widened, his expression showed disbelief, and he felt sick in his heart.
"This... what should I do?" Xu Yin is not a Freak control or a freak, he is a normal person. When looking for a wife, the species must be human, not snake or fish.
"Oh, that herring is still a male." Lu Xingshi added.
Then Xu Yin's face turned pale. Thinking that the fun he usually played with was with a male herring, it felt so sour and refreshing.
"My lord, no." The government officials quickly searched Xu Yin's shop and found no other officials.
"Taoist Master Lu, do you have any clues?" Lord Shao'an looked at Lu Xingshi. After all, it involves monsters, so it is appropriate to ask Lu Xingshi, a cultivator.
"What clues can I have? The victim is here. I asked him if he has any clues." Lu Xingshi complained. He is not omnipotent, let alone Fat Lingdi and Fatty. Who knows where he is.
Leave Xu Yin alone and ask him what he can gain.
"You know, my husband...Mrs. Bai has a big mansion in the north of the city. If it is true, he is hiding in that mansion." Xu Yin said quickly.
"Lead the way. If the official silver is really recovered, you are also a victim and will not be held accountable." Lord Shao'an made a promise, saying that as long as the official silver is recovered, the others can turn a blind eye. Only one eye.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Mr. Fu." Xu Yin felt that he had escaped. Otherwise, how could he have been able to bear the blame.
As the saying goes, the people do not fight against the officials. I am just an ordinary citizen. If the Lord of Shao'an Mansion really wants to use me as a scapegoat, then I have no way to resist.
Being able to let him go now is already great, how dare he ask for anything else.
Lu Xingshi was thinking in his heart, this white snake demon must be crazy. Even if he wants to pretend to be rich, he won't take so much official silver. One thousand eight hundred or so taels is enough.
That's three million taels, which is not a small sum no matter where you put it.
As for Shao'an Mansion Lord deliberately lying about the quantity to settle the accounts, it is possible, but it is unlikely. After all, the white snake demon and herring demon came here just as an accident, and they are not under his control.
Without the protection of the dynasty, officials are just ordinary people. How can they scheme against the great demon in disguise?
"Master Fu, there are many doubts about this matter. If the demon is not greedy for money, why would he steal these three million taels of silver?"
"Maybe..." Lu Xingshi thought of something. If he used so much silver, he really had a goal.
Happy Immortal.
Although the other party has become a fallen immortal, if he really wants to say that, he should be regarded as the upper level of evil.
If you use silver as an aid, you can further improve your qualifications when shaping your body.
"Did the Taoist Master think of something?" Mr. Shao An asked.
"If nothing else happens, Mrs. Bai is already pregnant." Lu Xingshi looked at Xu Yin.
Xu Yin was confused. Why didn't he know?
…
"I'm wondering, can there be any ambiguity when you say squeeze it dry?" Xu Yi cursed.
[Squeeze the skin and bones into juice and eat it. Is there any problem? 】
Looking at the answers from his sign-in system, Xu Yi was a little bit shocked. Thanks to the many demon-killing things he had signed in before, and with the help of the sign-in system, Xu Yi spent several days battling wits with the big fox, and finally Kill it.
"No problem, definitely no problem."
"Speaking of which, the world is in such chaos now. Do vixens come to the door so openly?" Xu Yi could only ask about the sign-in system.
[I have disconnected from the Internet. How could I still know this? However, the gods and immortals have gone into hiding. Is there anything wrong with demons and ghosts coming into the world to cause trouble? 】
"No, does the imperial court have any departments such as the Demon Slaying Department and the Demon Suppressing Guard? Otherwise, they will be eaten up." Xu Yi also felt the urgency at this moment.
[I don’t know, I’m just signing in to the system, not an intelligence spy. You have to rely on yourself for this kind of thing]
What can be done about the sign-in system?
Xu Yi was thinking in his heart that it seemed that he could no longer lie down. There were more and more demons and monsters, and he had to enter the Tao as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would have immortality but no power, and there would be no guarantee at all.
Immortality does not mean that you will not die, but there is no upper limit to your lifespan. However, if you die from an accident, disease, or homicide, you will still die.
[Don’t think too much, just sign in honestly. According to my many years of experience, generally auspicious numbers can always produce good things. Maybe you can sign in for a secret tomorrow]
"Then it's all thanks to you." Xu Yi knew that the sign-in system was comforting him. In fact, after signing in for so many days, he got a total of two good things: Dao Fruit·Eternal Life and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots·Peach Tree. The former It’s still a novice benefit on the first day, so it’s not my luck.
