Chapter 156 The Imperial Messenger

After the crowd dispersed, the scholar in the robe remained in place, and a book boy in a blue shirt and a small hat was fast Stepping forward, "husband, have you found a clue?"

The robe scholar is exactly the target of Fang Dou's trip, the envoy who visited the 'bad money case'.

The envoy was about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, with a humble demeanor, which made people feel good after seeing him.

"Not yet, I only see that in the market, people talk about money and change the color of money, and a penny is pushed back and forth!"

He bowed his head and smiled bitterly, "A gentleman is ashamed of words and interests, If the famous teacher Saint is reborn, seeing this scene in front of him, I don't know if he is happy or surprised?"

However, as an envoy, he thought further, the circulation of coins, like the blood of the country, moved have vitality.

Nowadays, the influence of bad money is getting bigger and bigger. No one dares to collect the money, and the money cannot be spent. The living money has turned into dead money, which is bound to bring a heavy blow to Imperial Court's taxation.

And according to his inquiries, some places now collect taxes, which is also affected. They do not accept copper coins, but only fine silver.

The common people only have a few dollars, can they all afford silver taels?

If this goes on, there will be a big mess!

The envoy looked up, seeing that it was getting late, he greeted the book boy, "I'm hungry, go eat a bowl of noodles!"

When I came to the noodle restaurant, it was still deserted, the envoy sat down, I called the store owner, "Two bowls of Yangchun noodles!"

The name of Yangchun noodles sounds elegant, but they are actually noodles in clear soup, sprinkled with a few chopped green onions at most.

The old man who opened the noodle shop smiled and kept rubbing his hands without turning around.

The envoy nodded, understood, took out a silver sliver, "Shop, is that enough?"

"Enough, enough, enough!"

The old man moved quickly, and in a moment, he filled two bowls of noodle soup with two extra pieces of vegetarian chicken on top.

The imperial envoy took out two chopsticks, wiped them clean, and ate them. While eating, he greeted the book boy, "Eat it while it's hot, it's good to work when you're full!"

The book boy is unsympathetic Reluctantly, he used the tip of his chopsticks to jump up the noodles in clear soup and lack of water, "husband, we have eaten noodles for half a month!"

"Well, yes!"

Yu After a few strokes, he finished the noodles, and even drank all the noodle soup.

"It's not impossible, the conditions are difficult, keep persevering!"

After eating the noodles, the envoy took out a volume of books and looked at it to kill time.

The book boy slandered while eating noodles. It would be nice to stay in the prefectural governor's mansion, where the food and drink are served, and the beautiful and enthusiastic maids accompany him to speak.

"There!"

The envoy turned to a page and suddenly shouted.

The book boy spewed noodles out of his nostrils in shock, "What happened?"

"It's okay, you eat first!"

The envoy stared at the pages of the book , This is a miscellaneous book, which records strange folk legends.

It is said that when the green cockroach gave birth to a child, the mother and the child were separated, and no matter the ends of the earth, they would be reunited.

People smear the money on the money with the blood of the mother and the child, leaving the mother money. No matter how many times the child money is spent, it will automatically fly back.

This is the legend of 'green clams pay back money'.

Over time, the word 'green fen' has become synonymous with copper coins.

Originally, the strange legends in this book were read by the imperial envoy as absurd stories. 'Two words, like a long time to find a door.

"Excellent!"

The envoy was so excited that he grabbed the book boy before he could finish eating.

"Go, go and have a look!"

Shutong was in a hurry, "husband, where are you going?"

"Go to the victim's house!"

There were five or six families who were victims in the local area, all of them received bad money, and as a result, their families were destroyed, because the curse was so powerful that even the people who collected the corpses dared not approach.

So much so that the original splendorous and majestic mansions were deserted, the beams and columns were covered with cobwebs, and waist-length weeds grew out of the stone crevices, and there were dilapidated scenes everywhere.

The gate was affixed with the seal of the official government.

As a result, just after he took a few steps, he saw three backs, squatting in front of a corpse to check.

"Nonsense, don't destroy the scene!"

The envoy stepped forward, the book boy breathless, "husband, wait for me!"

Three people When they got up, it was Fang Dou, Yan Sixian and Hongluan who had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here?"

The envoy is slightly frowned, "You know me?"

Fang Dou politely handed over, "Guess. Yes, right now around here, the only one who is devoted to the investigation of the case of Nie Qian, I am afraid that you are the only one, Lord Censor, and you should be of the right age!"

The envoy's expression softened, "This young man Master, you broke into the door, could it be that you must be in order to this place to save the dead?"

"Leave the dead soul aside for now, I found something here!"

Fang Dou turned around and pointed to the corpse. This person was a wealthy businessman, and he died not long ago. In addition, the weather has not been hot recently, so how could he have rotted his flesh and turned into bones?

What's even more peculiar is that the entire corpse is covered with a layer of green tentacles from head to toe, as if some spores were sent by the wind and fell on the bones to absorb nutrients and grow up.

The imperial envoy complexion became ugly, "What kind of sorcery is it to feed on flesh and blood?"

Fang Dou sighed, "Have you heard of green cockroaches?"

"You think so too?" The envoy seemed to meet a confidant.

"That's right, and I guess, these are not green grass, but the insect eggs of the green cockroach!"

"The murderer is too vicious, using green cockroach money to harm people and plunder Not to mention the family property, the entire family of the victim will be killed, and the bones will be used to raise the green cockroach!"

The green cockroach money is a Magical Artifact, and it needs to be smeared with the juice milled from the green cockroach, which requires constant feeding of the green cockroach. .

As a result, there is a story of killing people and taking money, and using the legend of 'bad money' to frighten everyone away, no one gathers the bones, and allows the planting of green insect eggs.

"Such thieves should be late!"

The envoy said angrily, bowing his hands to Fang Dou, "many thanks, I don't know who you are, little master?"

"Fang Dou is not a monk, this is my friend Yan Sixian and Hongluan!"

Fang Dou blunt, "Master Censor, we are here to ask You uphold justice."

"Wait!"

The envoy raised his hand, "It's the same thing, wait for me to finish the money case first, and then deal with your case. ."

"Also!"

Fang Dou thought to himself, what difficulty is there in this matter?

"I saw that the green insect egg was about to mature. After breaking through the ground and hatching, it will definitely return to find the mother, and then I can catch the murderer behind the scenes!"

The envoy nodded, Chao Shutong said, "You can quickly get my official seal certificate, go to the local county office to transfer troops, and catch all the thieves!"

"You can't transfer troops!" Fang Dou explained, "in case you beat the grass to scare. the snake!"

The envoy pondered for a moment, "It makes sense."

The murderer behind the scenes knows the distribution of local wealthy businessmen, and can give away the bad money in the case of top secret In the hands of the opponent, it can be seen that he is smart and cunning, and it is not easy to deal with.

This person is hiding in the dark and manipulating the money of the green scorpion to do evil.

"If the imperial envoy is at ease, leave this matter to me!"

Fang Dou chuckled, on a large locust tree outside the courtyard, the poisonous spirit hides in a dense In the bushes, the black dog under the tree squatted on the ground and took a nap.
