Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 59
"Where is this place?"

In the middle of the night, in the wilderness, a fat middle-aged man in official uniform, with blank eyes, walked forward without any fatigue. He walked for an unknown how long, but he couldn't stop no matter what. When I got down, my feet seemed to be out of control.

"Liu Shimin, where do you want to go, hurry up and follow me back to Guobei City." A gust of gloomy wind blew by, and a yamen servant suddenly appeared out of thin air with a chain in his hand and landed in front of County Magistrate Liu.

"Who are you?" Magistrate Liu asked blankly.

"I am Guo Beicheng's ghost messenger, and I have been specially ordered to arrest your soul."

The chain in the ghost guard's hand caught Magistrate Liu with a wave, and then pulled him into a dark wind and flew towards Guo Beicheng.

County magistrate Liu seemed to have lost his wits, and just followed the ghost in a daze, letting him restrain him.

In just a moment, County Magistrate Liu arrived in front of a magnificent mansion.

A plaque was hung in front of the mansion, with four words written: Guobei City God.

"My lord, Liu Shimin brought it here."

The mansion is like a county government office in the human world. There are ghost servants in it. Sitting on it is a huge middle-aged man wearing a vermilion official uniform, like a god statue in a temple. There seems to be a breath of incense in his breath. When it came out, it enveloped the entire Town God's Temple.

"Liu Shimin, where is it?" Guo Beichenghuang's voice echoed in the lobby.

Magistrate Liu stood there in a daze, still in a daze.

"My lord, County Magistrate Liu seems to be incomplete, so let's detain his soul." Seeing this scene, the ghost messenger immediately cupped his hands and said.

The city god calculated with his fingers, and immediately smiled and said: "The person who cut off his head is called Wu Fei. He used to be an executioner. When he killed Liu Shimin, he used two knives. The first knife took away Liu Shimin's soul, and the second The knife chopped off his head, which is a common method used by executioners, and the fear is that the murdered person will turn into a ghost and seek revenge on him in the future."

"Go and arrest his remaining soul, otherwise he won't be able to reincarnate, so let's take it down first."

"Yes, Lord City God." The ghost messenger replied, and dragged the soul of County Magistrate Liu down.
County Magistrate Liu swayed and followed behind. A scarlet gash was clearly visible on his neck, and blood was still oozing out.

Guo Beichenghuang immediately opened the notebook in his hand at this time, but saw that Liu Shimin's position had been outlined by a Chinese ink brush, but at the end he licked another stroke: the fortune was exhausted, the crime was heinous, and he was reincarnated as a dog in the next life.

On top of Liu Shimin, the name of Goddess Wang is also on it.

I saw a line of small black characters annotated below: Go to hell, never to be reborn.

Two days have passed since Magistrate Liu died.

During the two days, this matter has been widely circulated in Guobei County.

There are voices of all kinds.

But during this period of time, the Li family's gates were closed and they lived in seclusion.

"The play needs to be performed in its entirety. I ordered Wu Fei to kidnap my father, so as not to be caught and continue to make a fuss about it." In the main hall of the Li family, Li Xiuyuan said calmly, " Tieshan, set up two teams of guards, bet 10 taels of silver and follow me to Wangchuan Mountain."

"Two days have passed, and it's time to pick up my father."

"Yes, Eldest Young Master, I will make arrangements for the younger one." Tieshan replied.

"Housekeeper Li, you have to continue to take care of the house these few days." Li Xiuyuan said again.

"Eldest young master, don't worry, this old slave will do his best." Li Butler replied.

Few people in the Li family knew about the real inside story of County Magistrate Liu's murder, only Steward Li and Tieshan.

These two people are loyal to the Li family, and they are not worried that it will be leaked.

As for outsiders, even if they suspect that this matter was done by the Li family, so what?

The man had already been killed, and there was no evidence of his death. Li Xiuyuan also left all his relationship behind. After all, Wang Chuanshan and Wu Feiye were indeed robbers.

It's just that Li Xiuyuan sent escorts a few years ago to take down the bandits from Wangchuan Mountain.

Under the lure of Xu Yili, Wu Fei surrendered with his subordinates and merged into the Escort.

But not on the bright side, but in the dark.

In fact, he was still a robber on Wangchuan Mountain, but he stopped robbing houses.

The reason for this arrangement is that Li Xiuyuan was afraid that one day the Li family would need to use Wu Fei for some disgraceful things.

"Set off."

After some preparations, Li Xiuyuan set off from the mansion with a team of horses and horses on a thousand-mile horse, escorting 10 taels of silver.

In order to finish this last scene, he had to go to Wang Chuanshan himself.

As for the 10 taels of silver, it was just a circle and returned to the Li family.

Li Xiuyuan was riding on the horse, and after experiencing this incident, his heart was full of emotions.

"Everyone in the world says that demons and goblins are terrible, but what is even more terrifying is the human heart. Even if demons cannibalize people, they will be punished by the catastrophe, but if the human heart is in chaos, then who will take care of it? The laws of the court can only control the common people, not those who A man in a temple."

While thinking in his heart, the convoy was already gradually leaving Guobei County.

"Look, it's the Li family's convoy, led by the young master of the Li family. Where are they going?"

"Idiot, I don't know yet. The young master is going to Wangchuanshan to redeem someone. Didn't he know that Mr. Li was kidnapped by Wangchuanshan's thief Wu Fei? Seeing that the ten big boxes are all gone, everyone It is the silver of a ransom."

"With so much money, I'm afraid it's no less than one hundred thousand people. Hey, in the final analysis, all of this was caused by that dog official. If it wasn't for him, such a thing would not happen in the county."

The people in Guobei County started talking, and their hatred for the dog official Liu County Magistrate deepened, and they began to sympathize with what happened to the Li family.

Li Xiuyuan's face was calm and he was unmoved. Although he used some tricks and tricks, in truth, he was just presenting the truth to everyone.

Nothing is right or wrong, free public opinion.

The convoy drifted away.

In the evening, he had already left the boundary of Guobei County.

"Tieshan, take two people to see if there are any villages nearby. There is no post station. We are getting late. Let's find a place to settle down first, and we will start our journey tomorrow." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, Eldest Young Master." Tieshan nodded at the two of them, and immediately rode away at a fast speed.

Soon, they are back again.

"Young Master, there is a village three miles away." Tieshan said.

"Very good, let's go there and settle down." Li Xiuyuan said.

When the convoy reached the entrance of the village, a young man in tatters who looked like a beggar rushed over and blocked the mount of Tieshan in front of him.

"I have a mirror here, please, can you let me take a look at it?" the young beggar looked haggard, and begged in front of the horse.

He held a simple bronze mirror in his hand, which seemed to be quite old.

"Appeal."

Tieshan's expression changed and he hastily pulled back the horse.

"Boy, you are too reckless. Stop the horse casually, otherwise something will happen."

"Please, sir, let me take a look at this bronze mirror, just take a look at it." The beggar boy was not afraid of the war horse in front of him, but kept begging Tieshan and others to take a look at the gun in his hand. bronze mirror.

At this time, Li Xiuyuan rode over curiously: "What happened to Iron Mountain?"

"Back to the young master, the little one doesn't know, this boy stopped my horse and asked me to look at the mirror in his hand." Tieshan also looked puzzled.

Li Xiuyuan got off his horse and said, "Little brother, why do you stop us and ask us to look in the mirror?"

Seeing Li Xiuyuan approaching, the young beggar hurriedly took a look at him with the bronze mirror in his hand.

But a strange thing happened, there should be a shadow of someone on the bronze mirror, but after Li Xiuyuan took the photo, there was no shadow, it was empty.

"Huh." Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan also became curious.

This bronze mirror is not ordinary.

The beggar boy suddenly looked a little disappointed, and then frantically looked at other people in the bronze mirror.

But it's strange to say that other people have shadows on the bronze mirror again, but the beggar boy still looks very disappointed.

"What kind of mirror do I look in the old man? Go away." A guard glared at him impatiently and shouted.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan became even more curious.

The beggar boy seemed to be looking for someone with a mirror.
