Weird: I can simulate fate

Chapter 17
Jingyang County is close to the Jingshui River, and the north-south business affairs continue day and night.

It is also located at the junction of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and people come and go from east to west in all seasons.

Therefore, the two markets in the county are quite lively, especially Dongshi.

Xu Ye went straight through the south gate without stopping.

Sun Wanquan was half a step behind, followed closely with a careless face, how could he have the slightest authority as a county lieutenant?

"Brother Xu, Mr. Sun was fortunate enough to see Captain Zhang of the garrison battalion performing martial arts. If there was a tiger roaring in his every move, and a single spear pierced through the stone, he thought he was a top-notch expert, but now he sees You know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people..."

The flattering words followed one after another, only boasting Xu Ye to the extent that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth.

"...It is Zheng Yunxian who won the first prize in martial arts and is praised by the Holy Master as a martial arts talent who comes out once in a hundred years. In my opinion, I'm afraid it's not too bad."

Xu Ye couldn't take it anymore.

It is said that good words are good for deeds, but people love to listen to flattery.

But this good word is like braised pork. If you eat too much, you will get really tired and panic, and your blood fat will become high.

But Xu Ye finally realized why Sun Wanquan was able to beat him and become a county lieutenant——

If this kind of shameless and generous flattery can't make it to the top and have a prosperous official career, then it is unreasonable and unlawful.

Xu Ye smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Master Sun, I'm full, why don't you continue after a while?"

Sun Wanquan smiled like a flower, and hurriedly said, "Okay, brother, I will be ordered by Brother Xu in the future. You let me go east, I will never go west, let me go south..."

It was another word of loyalty, and Xu Ye's blood lipids became even higher.

……

A cute little boy wearing a tiger fur hat and showing two buns, holding a candied haws in one hand and a kite in the other, giggling and running back and forth in the market.

I accidentally tripped over my left foot and fell to the ground with a "slap".

When I got up, I saw that the candied haws were covered with soil, and the kite was also cracked with a big hole.

Suddenly the corner of his mouth grinned, and he burst into tears.

Seeing this, the old Taoist priest who set up a face-to-face booth hurried forward to comfort him.

The little boy cried more and more sadly, his tears and snot were wiped round and round on the tattered but clean taoist robe of the Taoist priest.

"Don't cry, kid. The old man will do a trick for you. Make sure to turn your candied haws and kite back."

"Wuuu, really? Grandpa Wukui, you wouldn't lie to me, would you? Mother said you would lose all your teeth if you lied to me."

"of course it's true."

As he spoke, the old Taoist took out a grain of yellow rice from his pocket and placed it gently on the ground.

Saying Fajue in his mouth: "Old Master Taishang is as anxious as a law, long, long, fast and long."

The original candied haws and kites disappeared without a trace.

A young sprout grows from the yellow rice.

In a blink of an eye, it grew into a small tree the size of a palm.

Red candy seeds hung on the treetops, exuding a tempting aroma of honey.

There is a yellow fruit on the top of the tree.

The fruit cracked open, and a small kite flew out, swayed slowly for a moment, and landed in the little boy's hand.

The people around seemed to be used to it, they just stopped to watch and praised the old Taoist with a smile.

The little boy opened his mouth wide in shock, and after a while, he smiled happily again.

"Grandpa Wukui, my candied haws and kites are growing from the trees."

The old Taoist handed the little tree over.

"Go and play, don't wrestle anymore."

"Thank you grandpa."

The little boy thanked him, and with his hands full again, he giggled and ran away.

Xu Ye witnessed the whole process.

He sincerely praised: "Every time I see the wonderful method of Taoist Wu Kui, I feel pleasing to the eye, and I am also glad that I am still alive and have never missed the beauty of the world."

"Don't deserve it, don't deserve it, it's just some low-level tricks."

Taoist Wukui waved his hands a little embarrassedly, "Catcher Xu is here to collect the booth fee? The old man will fetch it for you, ahem."

He coughed from time to time while speaking.

"This time I'm just passing by, the Taoist priest doesn't need to trouble you."

Xu Ye dissuaded with a smile.

"How's the business going recently? Is there someone who is not open-eyed coming out to make trouble?"

"With the help of Xu Butou and a group of brothers to clean up the market, life is much better, and we are living in peace."

"Very good, Mr. Xu is going back to the yamen to report on his duties, so he won't bother the Taoist priest."

……

Back to the county office.

The majesty and demeanor in the main hall are still the same, but under the plaque of "seeing the original heart", there has been a change of people.

County Chancellor Liu Ziyuan, a son of the Liu family in Qingzhou, has read all kinds of books and is knowledgeable.

At the beginning, Xu Ye was still working as a coolie on the wharf of the Jingshui River. By chance, Master Liu took the fancy of him and recruited him into the county government as an ordinary arrester.

After several years of dealings, the relationship between the two is quite familiar.

"Humble job Xu Ye, I have met my lord, I wish you a high promotion in advance."

Master Liu reprimanded with a straight face: "Stop talking nonsense, if someone with a heart hears it, they will think that this official is inseparable from Lord Zhou's death."

Intentionally or not, he glanced at Sun Wanquan out of the corner of his eye.

Xu Ye also looked over with a smile.

Lieutenant Sun shivered, but he didn't dare to speak out.

One is high and powerful, and the other almost buried himself alive halfway, and he can't afford to mess with anyone.

I have to sigh in my heart: people leave tea cold, life is sad.

Master Liu continued: "Recently, a major event happened in the county. Since you are back, Butou Xu, you should hurry up and deal with it."

"But Master Zhou's business?"

"Lord Zhou died of illness. You don't need to check. The official has already handed over the official document. Maybe a new county magistrate will be appointed soon."

Xu Ye blinked.

Master Liu also blinked.

"Lieutenant Sun has worked hard today, let's go down and rest."

Sun Wanquan slipped away in despair.

Without outsiders, talking is much easier.

Master Liu still had a straight face, and asked with dissatisfaction in his voice: "Tell me, why do you have to send him away?"

Xu Ye took a few steps closer.

"I heard that before Master Zhou died, he mentioned the name of the humble official, is it..."

Master Liu waved his hand and interrupted: "Perhaps he is sick and confused, so you just pretend that there is no such thing, and I didn't mention it in the official document."

Xu Ye was grateful for Lord Liu's concern in his heart. After all, a small headhunter was involved in the death of the county magistrate, and he would have to lose his skin if he didn't die.

But he couldn't help but wonder.

Not this thing?What could be greater than the sudden death of the county magistrate?
Master Liu opened a file casually.

"The pig of Zhang San's family in Xiahe Town was killed by the dog of Li Si's family. I want you to investigate..."

"what?"

Xu Ye was dumbfounded.

Xindao: Back then I fought three hundred rounds with Mr. Pang De, who turned into an evil corpse. That was a ruthless character that Wang Yanting, the national teacher, wrote books and biographies about. You actually asked me to deal with the dog biting the pig?

Mr. Liu was still there, and continued: "You don't need to check it out."

Xu Ye: ...

"A few days ago, the old servant of the Li family came to report that the master died for no reason, and the family is not peaceful. You should deal with it."

"Which Li family?"

"Which one else, of course, is the richest man in Jingyang County, Li Jiye, who once served as the general judge of Qingzhou."

"The richest man is dead? Hehe, ahem, that's really a big case."
