I borrowed my brain from the Emperor

Chapter 24 Send away the beggars

Chen Luo found a lone servant, hid in the dark, grabbed the man's neck, and carried him into the grass with one hand. The speed was so fast that the other party didn't even react, so when he came back to his senses, the other party's eyes were still a little dazed.

Just the next second, after seeing Chen Luo's fierce eyes, his whole body started to tremble.

"Grandpa, have mercy on me, grandpa, have mercy on me!"

As soon as he let go of his hand, the servant immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head. Looking at him like this, he has been held hostage a lot recently, and his movements are quite skillful. But this is normal. Qingya County is in chaos right now, and there are officers and soldiers everywhere arresting 'rebellious parties'. Those heroes who can't survive will naturally think of finding food from the source.

"Ask you something."

Chen Luo kicked him and signaled him to get up and talk.

"Where is Magistrate Qingya?"

"In Nuanqiu Pavilion! Go straight from here and you'll be there when you see the round gate."

The servant sold his master without any hesitation. During the process, he seemed to be worried that Chen Luo would not be able to find the place, so he described the appearance of the three doors to him in detail.

After writing down the route, Chen Luo raised his right hand, knocked the servant unconscious and threw him into the grass aside. After that, he arrested two more people and questioned them in the same way, and got the same information.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he controlled his body shape and flew towards Nuanqiu Pavilion with light body.

Nuanqiu Pavilion is a small courtyard in the back house.

The layout is very similar to that of a courtyard house, with a main hall and wing rooms on both sides, and a small courtyard in the middle. There was a round flower bed with some ornamental plants planted in it. Chen Luo didn't recognize them. They looked like dogtail grass.

"This guy surnamed Fan is too overbearing. He uses the land in Qingya County to do things, but he only gives me such a small amount of money! Are you sending me a beggar?"

An angry voice came from inside the house.

"Why should I be angry with him, my boss? That Fan surnamed is just a vulgar warrior, and this is the end of his life. What else can he pursue besides money? But you, my boss, are different. As long as this time is done well, in the future, Maybe it can be exchanged for an opportunity to be crowned king and prime minister."

Another voice sounded, which sounded like a staff member beside the proprietor.

"I don't know the truth. I just can't swallow this breath."

The tone of the voice at the beginning was much slower.

"If my boss really can't swallow this breath, you might as well try this method. We can."

Bang! !

Before he finished speaking, the window next to him was knocked open, and a figure broke through the window like a ghost. Broken wood and cut-out window grilles were scattered everywhere. The man who sneaked in didn't say a word of nonsense. He grabbed the speaker's throat and squeezed it hard.

There was only a 'click' sound, and the master who was still talking one second was silent the next second, and his neck was twisted to the back of his head.

Killed the wrong person?
  Chen Luo glanced at the clothes of the person in his hand and frowned slightly.

He followed the sound and came in. Unexpectedly, he only crushed one master to death. Fortunately, the other person didn't escape. The worst he could do was kill him again.

"Who are you?!"

Magistrate Lou stepped back with horror on his face.

He has seen many fierce thieves, but this is the first time he has encountered one that kills people at first sight.

Could it be that it turns into killing someone? I still have so much money that I haven’t spent yet...

Chen Luoke didn't mean to talk nonsense with him. He always did things neatly and neatly.

With a flick of his hand, the expired master was thrown out like garbage. His body hit the table and chair and rolled to the side, ruining the two pots of tea brewed on the table.

Chen Luo didn't even bother to pick up their 'brains' from such useless people who didn't even know martial arts. These two weaklings were still trying to plot against the court master. It was thanks to the court's rules that they were protected. Otherwise, even ten lives would not be enough to compensate them for their suicidal behavior.

Lou Zhixian, who noticed the murderous aura in Chen Luo, had already retreated to the corner. He looked at Chen Luo walking towards him and was about to beg for mercy.

"hero."

Before he could say anything, he felt his eyes go dark, and then he lost sight of the person in front of him. The next moment, there was a sharp pain in the chest, and then the person flew straight up. With a muffled sound of "bang", Lou Zhixian's fat body hit the back wall directly, his eyes widened, and a wisp of blood fell down from the corner of his mouth.

"It's useless to call him a hero."

Withdrawing his blood-stained palm, Chen Luo's eyes flashed with disappointment.

He originally thought that Lou Zhixian had some martial arts skills, but he didn't expect that he was really just an ordinary scholar.

The corpse slid down against the wall, leaving a shocking trail of blood.

After finishing the killing, Chen Luo glanced around the room, his eyes fixed on the table. There was a full money bag there, all of which contained one thousand taels of silver notes. Preliminary estimates indicate that it would be at least one hundred thousand taels!

So much money? !
  Chen Luo was also a little surprised.

This is not a small amount, and ordinary people may never see this much money in their lifetime.

Recalling what the two discussed before coming in, I suddenly understood where the money came from. It was probably the military general named Fan who sent the money to "send away begging".

"So much money is just given to beggars? Where can beggars make so much money! Why didn't you tell me?"

Chen Luo had a new understanding of the money concept of Lou Zhixian and his group.

He took two steps forward and put the money bag into his arms. The banknotes here are all unnamed, and Lou Zhixian and the others can't take registered banknotes to do this kind of thing.

After collecting the money, Chen Luo glanced outside the door.

There was a lot of movement just now, but no one has come yet. It can be seen that Lou Zhixian's normal prestige is that ordinary servants do not dare to interfere with the master's affairs, do not dare to listen, and do not dare to ask. Another powerful aura showed no sign of moving. I don't know if I didn't hear it or just didn't want to care.

In this way, Chen Luo was not so anxious to leave.

Junior Sister He hasn't been found yet, but when she comes in, she grabs some money. How can this be justified?

He looked around and settled on the bookcase at the back.

Chen Luo walked over and opened the bookcase, took out a book and flipped through it. It was about romantic affairs and was of little value. After skipping this one, Chen Luo flipped through several more. It's a pity that most of them are ordinary books read by literati.

Chen Luo walked to the second bookcase and took down the books on it.

This cabinet is filled with account books.

The records are very detailed, including the income and expenditure of various departments in Qingya County, and there is also evidence that some important personnel accepted bribes. If you put it in the officialdom of Qingya County, you can exchange it for a lot of money, but here in Chen Luo, these things are no different from waste paper.

The third and fourth.

Note walked all the way to the last bookcase and finally found something different.

"what is this?"

Chen Luo opened the outermost book and took out a wooden box from the hidden compartment with a copper lock on it.

‘What kind of treasure is this? ’

Chen Luo suddenly became energetic.

So without saying a word, he poured his inner energy into his fingers and squeezed hard.

Only a click was heard, and the copper lock snapped.

"letter?"

The contents inside the box made Chen Luo slightly disappointed. What was inside was neither a treasure nor a martial arts secret book, but a thick stack of letter paper.

Chen Luo glanced through a few letters and quickly captured an important name from them.

King Ning!
