Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 56 The Incident
Following Xie Duan's scent, the briquettes arrived outside the gazebo.

After Xie Duan saw it, he found an excuse to walk away, came to a corner, held it in his palm, and asked in a low voice.

"How is it? Have you found where the food is hidden?"

Upon hearing this, Briquette shook his head vigorously.

"The briquettes have searched all over the villa, but they haven't found any trace of the batch of food. I think the food should not be here."

After hearing this, Xie Duan became more and more determined in his guess.

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work."

After Xie Duan finished speaking, he returned it to the Qiankun bag.

At noon, Zhou Daoyi and Pang Zheng finished talking about business, and when Dang was about to go down the mountain, Pang Zheng enthusiastically stayed with them for lunch in the villa, but Zhou Daoyi refused because of his busy schedule.

After leaving Zhengqi Villa, Xie Duan drove the carriage out of sight of everyone in the villa, and then called out the coal balls.

"Stay here and help me monitor that Pang Zheng. If you find something abnormal, report back immediately! You keep this talisman, don't open it casually, and throw it on the ground when you are in danger, and you can take this opportunity to escape. I understand. Is it?"

With a serious expression on his face, Xie Duan handed a spell that was folded into a triangle to the hand of the coal ball, and at the same time gave it instructions.

"Okay! Sir, don't worry, the briquettes will definitely do meritorious service."

Briquette hid the talisman in his ear, and said vowedly.

Then without hesitation, he jumped out of the carriage and got into the grass.

According to Xie Duan's previous analysis, there should be someone who is proficient in magic in the villa, so he bestowed a spell on the briquettes to save their lives.

After only two miles along the road, in the woods ahead, Li Qing and his men were hiding under the ravine. When they saw them coming down, they hurriedly appeared to join them.

"How? Did you find anything?"

Li Qing went forward to meet him, looked at Xie Duan, and asked questions.

"Brother-in-law, things have changed, there are their secret operations in the yamen."

Xie Duan jumped off the carriage, looked around at the yamen servants, pulled Li Qing aside, lowered his voice, and reported to him truthfully.

"what?"

Hearing this at first, Li Qing's complexion changed suddenly.

"Basically, I've already guessed who that person is! There are too many people here. To prevent the news from leaking, let's go back and talk about it first."

Having said that, Li Qing nodded slightly and calmed down.

He asked the two headhunters to lead their teams back home, while he and Xie Duan boarded Zhou Daoyi's carriage and headed straight for the county seat.

Not long after, the carriage entered the county town and stopped on the side of the road.

Standing at the front of the car, Zhou Daoyi cupped his hands towards the two of them: "Zhou has already completed what your lord entrusted, so I will take my leave."

Seeing this, Li Qing returned a salute and thanked him.

The two walked back to the yamen, there were people coming and going on the street, it was just a cover-up, Xie Duan told him the situation while walking.

After listening, Li Qing was greatly shocked.

"Unexpected, really unexpected! Day and night defense, family thieves are hard to guard against, the county trusts him so much, he actually..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little sad, and he let out a long sigh.

"Know people, know faces, but don't know hearts! But right now, there is only [-]% to [-]% certainty that it is him. Whether this is the case needs further verification. This time, let's give him a plan."

Xie Duan then spoke out his strategy, and Li Qing was shocked by him again. It has to be said that this strategy kills two birds with one stone.

Not only can the inner ghost be found out, but also the location of the food can be found out.

……

The next morning, the grain hall.

"Hurry up, hurry up, let me move quickly!"

Ruan Xiu stood in the middle of the courtyard, directing a group of yamen servants to assemble.

All the yamen servants in charge of guarding the granaries have been transferred out at this moment, and they are all ready to go, as if a tough battle is about to be fought.

The Master Registrar heard the movement, so he couldn't help but go out to check.

"Captain Ruan, what are you doing?"

Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

"Master Registrar! That's it, the county magistrate has already found out the culprit behind the stolen food, so he asked me to reorganize my manpower and go to Zhengqi Villa to catch the thief and recover the stolen official food."

Ruan Xiu bowed to him, said so in a leisurely manner.

"Oh? So fast! Found the stolen food?"

Hearing this, he was slightly taken aback, and continued to ask.

"That's right! It's all thanks to Mr. Xie, who went into the villa alone yesterday to investigate, and lived up to expectations, and finally got conclusive evidence."

He has a confident face, as if he has a plan for this.

"My lord, it's time for us to leave, take your leave!"

Ruan Xiu stopped talking, assembled the team, and went out.

The Master Registrar looked at their leaving backs with complicated expressions.

He was stunned for a moment, and then returned to the master's courtyard.

With a slightly worried expression on his face, without thinking, he studied the ink and picked up the pen, quickly wrote a note, walked outside the door, and blew a whistle.

"Fluttering..."

A bird with white feathers and red tail landed on his hand.

Master Master rolled up the note, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and tied it to the bird's leg. Then he waved his hand, and the bird flapped its wings and left.

"Hopefully it's still too late!"

He muttered to himself and said such a sentence softly.

"It's too late, of course it's too late!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

The Lord Registrar followed the prestige, but saw Xie Duan slowly entering the courtyard through the archway with a knife in his hand, and beside him was the Lord Magistrate.

Behind him, Ruan Xiu, Wang Cheng, and the two captors looked gloomy.

"you……"

He was even a little dazed and didn't react for a moment.

"My lord, what happened to you has happened, just obediently get caught!"

Xie Duan looked calm, staring at each other closely.

With a wave of Li Qing's hand, Ruan Xiu who was behind him instantly led people around him, and the two yamen servants cut off his hands without saying a word.

Another yamen servant brought iron chains and shackles to lock him up.

"My lord, what crime did you commit in a humble position?"

He was still lucky, and he didn't want to admit it.

"Hmph! Do you need me to talk about what you did yourself?"

Li Qing snorted coldly, and became even more angry after hearing this.

"You have let the county down so much! The county trusts you so much. During your tenure, you have been promoted many times. Unexpectedly, you secretly conspired with thieves and stole life-saving food from the people. How dare you say that you are innocent?"

These words were stern, and at the same time mixed with some pain.

"I am wronged by a humble position! My lord, I am wronged!"

When the Master Registrar heard this, he couldn't help crying loudly.

"Injustice? My lord, it's useless to argue!"

When the word "wronged" came out of his mouth, Xie Duan only thought it was a little funny, so he no longer tried to hide it, and simply explained the reason.

"The bird just now is called the kestrel. It is a bird raised by Pang Zheng, the owner of Zhengqi Villa. It can be used for sending messages. How did it appear here?"

Xie Duan stepped forward, observing the change in the other party's expression.

"Food from the official storehouse has been stolen repeatedly without anyone noticing it. Everyone thought it was a burglar, but in fact, someone secretly transported it away with the 'Five Ghosts Transporting Technique'."

"Ghosts are afraid of gods, so you take the Cangshen statue down as an excuse to make things easier for the other party."

"Guancang is an important place in the county government. People who can be contacted often and have a certain right to speak, besides you, who else is there?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who secretly provoked the people to make troubles should be you, my lord."

Xie Duan said with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Master Master, there was already fine sweat oozing from his forehead, and his face was also a little frightened.

"You...you are talking nonsense! I don't know what you said, I never did it, I...I am wronged!"

Although the voice is still very strong, it is obviously lack of confidence.

"Hmph! Whether you have been wronged or not, you will know when the time comes."

Xie Duan stopped talking and looked at Li Qing. After making eye contact, the two of them knew what to do, and then they were ready to take the next step.

"Take him back and put him in prison, so he can take care of him!"

After Li Qing gave an order, Ruan Xiu immediately took the order and left.
