Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 46
Li Xiuyuan saw the idle man stepping on his heel and falling to the ground, smashing his head, bleeding and wailing in pain, he immediately looked at the black-faced ghost messenger.

The dark-faced ghost messenger said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Li, this person speaks rudely, I will teach him a lesson for Mr. Li."

There was no joy on Li Xiuyuan's face, but a bit dignified.

This ghost messenger seemed to be used to playing tricks on people, and any tricks he played would bring blood to that idler.

This is still in the case of not offending the ghost messenger, if offended, I am afraid that the punishment and torture will be far more than that.

Li Xiuyuan suddenly smiled faintly: "No wonder there is a good saying that the little ghost is difficult to deal with. If you two ghosts are willing to teach that idle man a lesson, it will be enough to let him stumble. Why let others have a bloody disaster? If the head is broken, if it is not cured, it will be dead."

Speaking of the latter, he looked a little stern.

The medical conditions in this ancient time were not good. If there is blood and flesh is injured, once the wound becomes inflamed, it is really possible to die.

The black-faced ghost messenger immediately responded submissively: "Mr. Li taught me a lesson. I'm so cheap at the moment. I didn't think about it so much. Please don't take offense, Mr. Li."

"Mr. Li, my brother is also not used to seeing that person insulting Mr. Li, that's why he hit harder just now, and please Mr. Li don't take it to heart." The blue-faced ghost guard next to him said hastily.

Li Xiuyuan didn't say anything, but just threw a silver coin to the idler: "Stop swearing at others in the future, or you will suffer retribution, use the money to treat him."

Seeing a piece of silver falling in front of him, the idle man quickly picked it up, stopped crying, and said happily: "Thank you for the charity, the young master, after all, the young master is benevolent and righteous, and the young one will never dare to speak ill again in the future." Yes, especially the bad words of the young master."

After finishing speaking, he quickly thanked him, took the money and left quickly.

I don't know whether to heal the wound or to make money.

Li Xiuyuan also ignored it, but turned to look at the two ghosts and said: "I will give you a chance about the matter of Witch Wang. Within three days, arrest the soul of Witch Wang for me, or I will write a letter." Let the City God of Guobei City relieve you of your duties as ghost messengers, as for how you will be punished, it is the City God's business and has nothing to do with me."

"Much, thank you Mr. Li for your kindness."

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, we will definitely arrest the soul of Goddess Wang within three days, and we will definitely not cause trouble for Mr. Li again."

The two ghost messengers knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if they had received amnesty.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan frowned instead, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

These two ghosts seem to be too respectful to themselves.
Is there still something hidden in it that I don't know.

"Let's go, don't appear in front of me in the future, I'm not interested in seeing you ghosts and ghosts." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.

The two ghost messengers responded, then hastily hid their figures and disappeared under the shade of the trees.

Only then did Li Xiuyuan continue walking towards Guobei County.

But as soon as they got to the gate of the city, a soldier guarding the gate called Lao Youtou hurriedly called out: "The young master is back?"

Li Xiuyuan nodded and didn't say much.

At this time, the old oil head rushed to greet him, secretly stuffed a letter to Li Xiuyuan, and said in a low voice; "The young master came back from Xiahe Village, I'm afraid there are some things in the city that I don't know, so Xu Butou asked the young one to stay here." Wait for the Eldest Young Master, and immediately hand over this letter to the Eldest Young Master when the Eldest Young Master is back."

"What happened in the city?" Li Xiuyuan asked after receiving the letter.

"this."

The old oily man hesitated for a moment, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Perhaps Xu Butou's letter clearly stated it, so I won't talk nonsense here."

Li Xiuyuan frowned, and when he opened the letter, his expression changed immediately.

"This county magistrate Liu is too deceitful. He really thinks my Li family is nothing but mud." The next moment, he suddenly yelled, looking extremely angry.

He squeezed the letter directly, and it was broken into pieces of paper, which fell to the ground.

From birth to now, Li Xiuyuan has never been so angry as he is today.

Immediately, he strode towards Li's residence.

"Young Master is really angry this time, and now Guobei County is not peaceful." The old oily man underestimated.

"What happened, how could this well-behaved young master of the Li family be so furious?" asked the recruit next to him.

The old oily head gave him a strange look: "You don't know if you really don't know or if you don't know, just yesterday, the county magistrate Liu sent Yamen servants to arrest Li Dafu and Mr. Li. This matter has already caused trouble in Guobei County. Open, only the young master went to Xiahe Village two days ago and didn't know about it, and I didn't expect you to know about it either."

"No, no way, what did the magistrate arrest Li Dafu, and he didn't commit any crime." The recruit wondered.

The old oily head shook his head and said: "The official word is two mouthfuls, who knows what these officials are thinking, maybe they are eyeing the monstrous wealth of the Li family. Well, it is better not to talk about this matter, the passing tiger and It has nothing to do with us if the local strong dragons fight."

Li Xiuyuan returned to the mansion angrily.

But he saw that Steward Li in front of the mansion had received the news of his return, and was already waiting for him in front of the door.

"Young master, you are finally back. The old slave wanted to send someone to notify the young master yesterday, but it was delayed all night due to the heavy rain and the urgency of the matter."

Butler Li came up to greet him, and said anxiously: "There is a big deal in the family, sir."

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "I know everything about it. My father was put in prison by the county magistrate Liu, who said that my father colluded with that sorceress Wang and used Taoism to make money. Many wealthy people in the county The loss of gold and silver in the family was all done by our Li family. In addition, we also framed my father for harming people with sorcery, such as harvesting yin to replenish yang, causing pregnant women to have abortions, prolonging their own life, etc. "

"The young master already knows, so what should we do now?" Butler Li asked hurriedly.

"This is an unwarranted charge. This county magistrate Liu has a lot of heart. I'm afraid he has set his sights on our Li family. I'm going to visit this magistrate Liu now. After I leave, there are still people in the county. Everywhere in the industry, if there is any trouble elsewhere, when necessary, send out escorts." Li Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, yes, this old slave has made a note." Butler Li nodded in response.

Li Xiuyuan gave some instructions and was about to go to the county government office, but then he turned his eyes away and saw a servant girl in the mansion carrying a package on her back, as if she was about to slip away.
"Stop." He shouted.

The maid was startled immediately, and all the packages fell on the ground, but she saw gold and silver jewelry scattered all over the ground.

"Eldest, young master." The servant girl's face turned pale immediately.

Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "My Li family is not finished yet, why are you rushing away with money?"

"Eldest young master, please forgive me, this servant girl was just confused for a moment." The maidservant immediately knelt down on the ground with a plop, begging for mercy.

"Get out of Li's house and send him to work in a factory for 20 years." Li Xiuyuan shouted.

"Yes, young master." Steward Li nodded, and then hurriedly ordered two guards to take the maid away.

Li Xiuyuan said; "If this happens again, we will do it like this."

"Young master, please forgive me. The servant girl knows that she is wrong, so please don't drive the servant girl out." The maidservant cried and begged for mercy.

"I didn't kill you, I just asked you to work in the factory, and the monthly payment will be given to you. This is kind enough. If it were my father, I would definitely kill you. You were bought by my Li family. , they were not recruited." Li Xiuyuan said coldly.

Soon, the maid was taken away by the guards.
