Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 31 Release.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun had such an opportunity.

He rescued a mouse when he was young, but he was down and out after more than ten years. Instead, he was rescued by this mouse, and took the money the mouse gave him to marry a wife and buy a house.

As for why the mouse he rescued was gray when he was young, but now it is a white mouse, it is actually easy to explain.

This mouse has become a master and has become a spirit, so its fur will turn white.

There is a saying that the yellowing of the scales and the whitening of the fur are signs of becoming fine.

However, this mouse can become a sperm in just over a dozen years, and has a certain level of knowledge. Obviously, this mouse has had some opportunities during this period of time, otherwise it would not be possible to become a sperm so quickly.

Right now, things have come to this, and everything has come to light.

The white mouse repayed his kindness by stealing the money from the Li family to Zhang Shun, but Zhang Shun didn't seem to know that the money was stolen from the Li family's treasury, but this brothel girl named Yanhua was a little smart, and knew that the mouse took the money. The money that came may have been stolen, and he didn't want it for fear of causing trouble, but after all, he still couldn't overcome the greed in his heart, so he and Zhang Shun enjoyed the money with peace of mind.

"Zhang Shun, where is the rest of the silver taels stolen by the white mouse? Hand them over." Li Xiuyuan said.

Zhang Shun revealed everything at this moment, not daring to hide it, and hurriedly led his servants to rummaging around for money at home. Some money was hidden on the beams of the house, some money was buried in the ground, and some money actually sank in the well. middle.

This person is not very good at hiding money.

In the end, after collecting the large and small silver taels, there were a full two to 3000 taels of silver.

"That's all?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"There are only so many, and the rest are used up by the little ones." Zhang Shun said tremblingly.

"Did you spend a full five or six thousand taels of silver during this period?" Li Xiuyuan asked with narrowed eyes.

Zhang Shun was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground again: "Young Master, you have been wronged. The young one only spent more than 1000 taels, but not 5000 taels. The young one only got 5000 taels of silver in total. Everything is here, please let the young master know."

Li Xiuyuan took a serious look at him and felt that he was probably not lying.

The silver hidden so deep has been taken out, it is impossible to dare to hide the entire 5000 taels of silver.

However, the Li family's treasury lost a full 1 taels.

In other words, the amount of 5000 taels of silver still does not match.

After pondering for a while, he felt that there might be something strange about this matter.

But Zhang Shun couldn't ask any more questions, he had told all he knew, and took out all the money left.

"Zhang Shun, for the sake of your honesty, I can spare you this time, and the rest of the silver will return to the original owner today, but the 1000 taels of silver you used must be ignored."

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said: "How about this, you two will go to my Li family's workshop to work for ten years, and the monthly salary will be halved. After ten years, you and I will pay off, how about it?"

"Thank you for your kindness, young master, thank you for your kindness, young master, I am willing to work for compensation." Zhang Shunru kowtowed after being pardoned.

Yanhua, a brothel woman next to her, looked like she wanted to cry, but she was willing to follow Zhang Shun only because she was rich.

Li Xiuyuan didn't care whether the woman agreed or not.

This woman was bought by Zhang Shun, as long as Zhang Shun agrees, she has no room to resist.

Besides, this brothel woman has a lot of thoughts, and letting her work is also to clean up her thoughts. If the two of them are willing to work honestly for ten years, they can live in peace and contentment in the future, which is much better than starving here without money up.

"Leave them a ration of ten taels of silver, and take the rest away." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.

The servant responded, packed the silver and the title deed of a mansion on his back, and then took ten taels of silver and threw it in front of the two of them.

Ten taels of silver, if you save it, it will be enough to eat for several months.

Soon, Li Xiuyuan left here with his servants and a few thousand taels of silver.

When he just went out, a black shadow suddenly jumped down from the courtyard wall next to him.

"Master, it's a black cat, it's back, hey, look quickly, master, this black cat has caught a mouse." Xiaodie said happily.

But when the black cat turned its head, it found a white mouse in its mouth. The white mouse was not dead, but had a pair of round eyes with faint tears streaming out, as if it was crying.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it and recognized it immediately, it was the white mouse.

Sure enough, the white mouse lived in Zhang Shun's house.

"You mouse has today, you know how powerful you are." Li Xiuyuan laughed.

Cats are the natural enemies of mice. Even a white mouse can't beat this black cat. What's more, this is not an ordinary black cat.

The white mouse nodded again and again, begging for mercy to Li Xiuyuan again, his eyes were teary and pitiful.

The black cat looked at Li Xiuyuan, waiting for him to speak.

It seems that as long as Li Xiuyuan nods his head, the black cat will eat the white mouse without leaving even a hair.

"Don't eat it, it came to my Li family to steal money to repay its kindness, and it's not easy to cultivate, let it go."

Seeing how spiritual this white mouse was, Li Xiuyuan had no intention of killing it.

Since he is not a demon of great evil, he will not kill them all.

"Meow~!"

The black cat let go, and the white mouse immediately got out of sleep and ran away rustlingly.

After running far away, he stopped and looked back at Li Xiuyuan, as if to thank him.

"Don't steal things in the future, cause and effect are too heavy, otherwise you won't be able to transform." Li Xiuyuan said.

The white mouse seemed to understand, nodded repeatedly, and ran away without thinking.

"Master, why is the karma of stealing too heavy?" Xiaodie asked curiously.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "You will know later."

This cause and effect is the cause and effect of practice. The white mouse does not know the power of it if it is not deep. lost.

Otherwise, why did those fox spirits repay their kindness with their bodies instead of money?

Because repaying with the body is the most simple and direct, and there is no need to involve other causes and effects.

Besides, life has been in a hurry for decades, but demons can live for thousands of years, or even thousands of years, so it is not a loss to resolve a period of cause and effect in a mere few decades.

If nothing else, it's like Bai Suzhen in The Legend of the White Snake.

He is about to become a fairy, but he still owes Xu Xian a share of karma.

It's a pity that the truth was touched in the end, and Fa Hai accepted it.

"But having said that, where did the remaining 5000 taels of silver go?"

Li Xiuyuan withdrew his distracting thoughts, but frowned slightly, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

All the money that the white mouse stole was in the hands of Zhang Shun, and all the money in Zhang Shun's hands was 5000 taels, that is to say, 5000 taels were missing.

"What a headache, this world is really disturbing."

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, but he really had no idea, so he had to give up for now.

It's nothing to lose 1 taels of silver, I'm afraid that if this matter is not resolved, if it continues to happen, no matter how rich the Li family is, it will be evacuated.
