Weird: I can simulate fate

Chapter 30 Ding Yan Zhu, Weird Picture Scroll

"If it wasn't for Xu Butou, he would have been taken advantage of by that group of thieves this time. If something like that happened, the old slave would die and die."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "You're welcome, it's our duty to protect one party."

Immediately, he raised his hand unintentionally, and rubbed his fingers back and forth.

Uncle Zhong understood.

"With all your lords in Jingyang County, we will have a good life when we wait for the Home of Goodness. This old slave has made up his mind, and I hope you don't want to refuse."

Xu Ye scowled.

"How can we do that? As arresters, the principle has always been that we don't take the masses one by one."

So according to the usual practice, after three words and three concessions.

Xu Ye waved his hand.

"Dezhu, Ziyin, be careful when ordering."

"Yes!"

After taking care of such insignificant matters as receiving gifts, Xu Ye finally remembered the business.

Ordinary thieves want to rob people of their money, and he is sure to snatch them as many as they come.

But as it is today, Laoshizi Dingyanzhu has actually attracted all the well-known Yedrils, and maybe some powerful monsters will usher in, so he can't take it lightly.

Immediately he asked, "Have you heard of Dingyan Zhu?"

Zhong Bo thought for a while.

He replied: "I've heard a little bit about it. According to legend, the Dingyan Pearl is transformed from the gallbladder of the strange beast Qu Ru. It can make people's appearance unchanged, youthful forever, and the effect is extraordinary. I just don't know why you ask?"

Xu Ye is not very interested in such things, after all, he saw all kinds of face-changing magical skills in his last life.

How can a mere face that remains unchanged be compared to the knife in the hands of a plastic surgeon?

Then he said bluntly: "If you have this thing hidden in your house, dispose of it quickly, otherwise a catastrophe is imminent, and I may not be able to protect it."

Zhong Bo was startled.

Anxiously said: "The old slave steward has been in charge for so long, but he has never heard the truth from his master. Could it be that someone fabricated a rumor and wanted to drive the house to death?"

After Xu Ye thought about it, he should be more cautious when sailing for thousands of years.

Said: "It's better to believe it. If you believe Xu, take me to various darkrooms for a walk, and you will know if there is one or not."

"This..." Uncle Zhong showed embarrassment.

"After accepting the gifts, we have to do things. You can lead the way. No matter where Li Tongpan found those valuables, I have the right to pretend that I don't know about them, and I won't take any of them."

The old servant sighed. He was well aware of the corruption of the master, and he even handled many account books. How could outsiders know about the things in the dark room?

It's just that in my heart, I am afraid that something inexplicable will bring about a disaster of destroying the family.

After some weighing, he said helplessly, "As Master Xu said, please come this way."

Along the way, every time he went to a place, Xu Ye felt it carefully.

Apart from subconsciously cursing "a big dog", nothing unusual was noticed.

When they reached a deserted grave, the old servant touched the wordless tombstone lightly, revealing a small door.

The biting coldness overflowed instantly.

Uncle Zhong wrapped his clothes tightly and shivered, and explained: "The master has a close relationship with the chief eunuch in the palace, and this place is specially used to keep related items."

Xu Ye opened his eyes.

There was a shelf full of imperial edicts made of bright yellow silk cloth, and there were several boxes of folders for officials above rank three, and in the middle was a brocade robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.

I don't know what a eunuch is doing for collecting these things.

With a sweep of subtle perception, he quickly locked on a small black wooden box.

That's where the chill in the dark room comes from.

Ask Uncle Zhong to fetch it and open it to have a look.

There are two things inside, a milky white stone the size of a pigeon egg, and an ancient painting with yellowed pages.

Xu Ye unfolded the ancient painting.

The painting is a small bamboo building in the drizzle, under the eaves sits a well-dressed woman holding a baby in her arms.

But the strange thing is that the baby's face is blank for some reason, as if the painter has not finished painting.

Xu Ye's fingers turned cold.

There was an extra drop of rain out of thin air.

Looking up at the sky, the sun is in the sky, and there are no clouds in the sky.

My heart skipped a beat.

Secretly thought: Could it be that the rain in the painting is flowing out?
After feeling it again, he got nothing, so he put the scroll back.

As for the stone in the wooden box, Xu Ye vaguely felt an incomprehensible thought, like sadness, nostalgia, and a little bit of confusion.

The old servant asked cautiously: "Master Xu, is this the legendary Dingyan Pearl?"

Xu Ye shook his head.

Replied: "I don't know if I can stay young forever, but if I have been in contact with this thing for a long time, it is inevitable to suffer from depression."

After pondering for a moment, he continued: "These two things are extremely abnormal, and it is definitely not a good thing to keep them. You should dispose of them as soon as possible."

Uncle Zhong was quite frightened.

"This... this is Eunuch Hong's property after all, if something goes wrong..."

"Just say that you were snatched by the monster. If you need evidence, there is still a handful of scorched earth outside the door. You can keep it."

After finishing business, Xu Ye planned to say goodbye and leave.

"Master Xu stay behind!"

Uncle Zhong hurried to catch up and handed over the wooden box.

"My lord, you have extraordinary abilities. This kind of abnormal thing is beyond the ability of this old slave. Please handle it for me."

After Xu Ye thought about it, after-sales service really shouldn't be perfunctory.

It should be down.

Then the uncles and nephews of the Zhao family were recruited, one of them was in charge of the carriage full of "gifts", and the other was in charge of leading the scarfaced guards and others who tied their hands and tied them together.

After leaving Li's mansion, he returned to the county government office.

Above the court, Mr. Liu, the county magistrate, looked indifferent, his eyes were slightly closed, and his demeanor was as steady as Mount Tai.

"Have you ever found out the cause of death, Master Tong?"

Xu Ye saluted.

"Li Tongpan died of homicide."

Mr. Liu said angrily: "The daring villain dared to kill the official of the imperial court. It is simply lawless. Have you ever found out the identity of the murderer?"

Xu Ye was a little embarrassed.

He replied: "There are clues, but not completely clues..."

"Humph."

Master Liu snorted coldly, and said, "Captain Xu, I am a little disappointed in you."

Xu Ye picked out his ears.

After a pause, Lord Liu continued to ask: "It is also one of your responsibilities to guard Li's residence. You are not good at patrolling. Why did you come back so soon?"

Xu Ye smiled and said: "My lord, the thieves who wanted to rob have been caught by the humble officials, so I rushed back as soon as possible to wait for orders."

"Oh?"

Master Liu raised his eyebrows, slapped the gavel, and said, "Bring it up!"

Holding the rope, Zhao Dezhu brought the seven gangsters in.

Master Liu looked at them one by one with a sullen face.

He said coldly: "I don't think you look like good people. You dare to go to Mr. Tongju's house for a business without capital. If you suppress it, you will be hit with [-] boards each, and then you will be sent to prison for them to reflect on themselves."

If an ordinary person suffers from the [-]th board, he will lose half his life even if he does not die.

However, for a group of guards with ninth-grade cultivation bases and energy poured into their bodies, it was no different from scratching an itch.

Soon.

The sound of "cracking" boards came from outside, but no one cried out in pain.

Master Liu still looked unhappy.

"Since you're back, why don't you accompany me to celebrate Wang Yuanwai's fiftieth birthday, and meet Miss Wang's family by the way, after all, you're not too young."

Xu Ye was taken aback.

Good guy, is the magistrate of a county going to work part-time as a media sponsor?
