Weird: I can simulate fate

Chapter 18

Xu Ye took the file, checked it carefully, and frowned.

Wu made an examination, and Li Tong judged that his death was neither a disease nor a disaster, but passed away peacefully in his sleep.

However, the old servant at home heard his master calling for help and cursing late at night. When he went, he had already died, so he was very sure that this was murder for money.

Secretly said: Things are not easy to handle.

If it is really murder for money, then the murderer can kill people without a trace in the heavily guarded Li Mansion. How can someone with such means be an ordinary thief?
danger!Great danger!

According to the usual practice, Xu Ye planned to find an opportunity to refuse.

There are some headless cases in the county every year, and this one is not bad.

Looking up, Master Liu winked at him.

It was clear in my heart that this meant drinking and chatting in another place.

The two walked back and forth and turned into the East Flower Hall.

Master Liu took a sip of his wine and took some time to say: "The biennial official performance appraisal is coming, and if there is no accident, I can only get a good comment."

Although it is extremely rare to be able to "not lose" these days, Xu Ye knew that Liu Ziyuan wanted to go to the Hall of Heaven and perform the feat of turning the tide.

That being the case, such comments are far from enough.

Mr. Liu continued: "Li Tongpan has a close relationship with Hong Sihai, the eunuch who holds the seal. Every year, a lot of money is sent to the palace as filial piety. Now that Li Tongpan's death is unknown, how can Eunuch Hong be happy?"

Xu Ye finally understood.

Xindao: This is not going to give me a chance to refuse, the next step must be to "force" me to take this case with emotion and reason.

As expected, Mr. Liu slammed the table suddenly, with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, civil and military matters in the country are becoming more and more corrupt, and crimes of strange things and evil are more common. should……"

An impassioned speech, touching and tearful.

Xu Ye picked his ears, feeling drowsy.

Then really fell asleep.

"Captain Xu, pay your salary."

"Where? Where?"

Xu Ye opened his eyes, and saw Master Liu staring at him with a livid face.

At this time, as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

Immediately, he said with a straight face: "Your Excellency is right, you should be educated in a humble position."

Master Liu is too lazy to say much.

"In a word, will you help me with this case?"

"The humble job has limited abilities..."

"Li Tongpan has seven lovely wives and beautiful concubines in his family. Now that he has lost his support, it is the time when he needs someone to take care of him. Don't you feel moved?"

"Humble job likes unopened..."

"His family still has a wealth of wealth, antique calligraphy and paintings, and countless rare treasures. If I accidentally miss a few pieces, I can pretend that I don't know."

"...Can the salary of a humble job be increased?"

"Is 12 taels a month too little? I'll add it to 15 taels, which is already a lot. You have to know that hiring a martial arts master at the ninth-rank level to handle the case is only a hundred taels of silver a month. Just your two and three legs Cat kung fu, weigh it yourself."

How many?

Ninth grade, 100 taels?

When it comes to money, Xu Ye is not sleepy.

Immediately stretched out his hand and pressed it towards the middle of the stone table.

The strength surged wildly, and instantly left a palm print half an inch deep on it.

Master Liu was so shocked that he almost swallowed his wine glass.

"You...you have entered the product???"

Xu Ye smiled and cupped his fists.

"Thanks to your patronage, 100 taels per month, I dare not ask for more than a penny from a humble job."

Master Liu was startled and angry, unable to speak for a while.

As a child of the Liu family in Qingzhou, his knowledge is far beyond ordinary.

How can this kind of palm strength be comparable to that of ordinary ninth-rank realm?
However, this character of being greedy for money and afraid of death doesn't look like a master at all.

"My lord, if you can make it or not, you can give me a happy word. If the business doesn't work out, we still have friendship."

"call--"

Liu Ziyuan took a deep breath and settled down.

Thoughts are deep, hidden cultivation so far?Then what I saw at this time was Xu Ye's fault?
Or is it possible to achieve ninth grade cultivation in just a few days?
No matter which one, it is a help that cannot be ignored for him, and even for the Liu family.

"Your salary is still 12 taels."

"what?"

"But every month, Qingzhou Liu will give you 300 taels, are you willing?"

Xu Ye thought about it.

This is a good deal. In addition to the official salary, there is an additional income of 300 taels, and the cost of building a two-entry house is only 200 taels.

Earning a house and a half a month, where can I find such a good job?
"How do you think about it? If it's too little, it's okay..."

"Thank you, I don't want to."

Liu Ziyuan paused, puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Xu Ye poured him a glass of wine.

He smiled and said: "I uphold justice and law because things in the world are supposed to be like this. If Liu's money is taken, then what am I upholding?"

Liu Ziyuan stared at Xu Ye with his eyes wide open.

a long time.

Suddenly raised his head and laughed.

"As expected of you, on the pier back then, even if your leg was broken, you were the one who wanted to get back the wages for those coolies."

As he spoke, he got up and bowed to Xu Ye.

He said solemnly: "I am not as good as you in this regard."

Xu Ye hurried forward to stop him.

Accepting the gift from the people in Zhang County, what if you are wearing small shoes in the future?
Seeing Master Liu's complexion changed, he said with a straight face: "Go out now, if you can't handle the Li family's case, I will deduct all your salary!"

"Huh? If you don't talk about it anymore, I'm actually very unable to stand the test..."

"go out!"

After leaving the East Flower Hall, Xu Ye turned a corner and walked towards the classroom.

Most of the arresters are here for business on weekdays.

The two-story wooden building rattled when the wind blew, and it might collapse at any moment.

Ten months ago, most of the people were sent out to escort the students into Qingzhou Prefecture for the exam.

The road is far away, and it is estimated that it will take two or three months to turn around.

Except for those who are still patrolling the streets, there are only two people on duty in the small building now.

Zhao Dezhu, who is born with a sad face, is holding the book "Meixiang Story" which is already on the line, watching it with gusto.

His nephew Zhao Ziyin dozed off on the table, leaving a long trail of saliva running down the corner of his mouth.

When Xu Ye came in, his face turned dark when he saw this scene.

"cough--"

Cough hard.

Zhao Dezhu kept his eyes on the book, and said casually: "Just leave a note if you have something to do, and we will talk about it when our boss Xu Butou comes back. Don't disturb my reading and studying."

Xu Ye's face turned even darker.

Leaning over to take a glance, he saw that the book was turning to a wonderful chapter: "The young man in white is using tricks, and the young lady of the Liu family is ashamed to sacrifice herself..."

……

……

……

after awhile.

"crack, clap"

Xu Ye's two slaps woke up the two people who were not doing their jobs properly.

"Boss, you are back."

"Woo~ Who hit me? Oh, Brother Xu, you're here."

Xu Ye said angrily: "Watching these vulgar things during working hours, are you just being so perfunctory when I'm not around on weekdays?"

After all, Zhao Ziyin was young and was too frightened to make a sound.

Zhao Dezhu hurriedly explained: "How can it be, I have been busy collecting various taxes and fees these days, so I have some free time today."

Said and quickly handed over the account book.

Xu Ye took it over and checked it carefully.

"Accordingly, the bridge toll was [-] renminbi, and the booth fee was [-] renminbi..."

"Why is the booth fee [-] Wen extra?"

Zhao Dezhu replied with a little complacency: "It all depends on your method of dividing up the area to manage it. It's not like those businessmen have someone to make decisions for them, so the business will naturally go much smoother."

Xu Ye nodded.

He asked again, "Did those brothers send the money over on time?"

"Don't worry, I'll send them door to door."

"...Zhou Tong's family is still alive, right?"

"No, I also helped chop firewood for a while, and left an extra three hundred Wen when I left."

"Okay, good job, no embarrassment for me."
