There is enough Li Pu's travel, starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 410 Demons
"Ah? Why did the shopkeeper say that?"

Ning Caichen put down his chopsticks and asked.

"This magistrate has been in office for almost 30 years. Who in this Ningguo Mansion doesn't want him to leave quickly? This Ningguo Mansion is almost being plundered by him."

"30 years? It stands to reason that he has looted so much money from the Ningguo Mansion. With so much money, he should have been promoted a long time ago?"

When Li Pu heard this, he questioned.

"Guest officer, you don't know that he was involved in the imperial examination fraud case. Although it was later confirmed that he had nothing to do with him, it also denied him the way to be promoted. Therefore, he loves money even more, and even used the collected money to build a building. Two lions weighing three thousand catties."

While talking, the shopkeeper gestured to show how big the lion was.

"Such a big silver lion, isn't it afraid of being stolen?"

"Who can take a three-thousand-jin lion?"

"Then how did his son die?"

"He said that he died suddenly due to illness, but in fact, no one in this city knows that his son was killed by a ghost."

Hearing about Li Gui, Li Pu became interested.

"Oh? Let's talk about it in detail."

Hearing that Li Pu was interested, the store owner started to hesitate instead.

Seeing the store like this, Li Pu slapped the table boldly.

"Give me another catty of donkey meat in sauce, and a few plates of special dishes."

After finishing speaking, Li Pu took out a few taels of scattered silver from his waist and threw it to the shopkeeper.

On the road from Lanruo Temple to Ningguo Mansion, there were not many water bandits and bandits, and Li Pu also gained a lot.

The shopkeeper hurriedly took the silver and then ordered to go down, and waited until the silver was put into his pocket before speaking.

"Because someone saw that not only the magistrate had an accident in Lin's residence, but also a large number of nurses died, and the bodies were thrown on the mass graves outside the city."

"Then why can't it be assassinated by villains?"

Seeing Ning Caichen asking this question, the shopkeeper smiled.

"If there are bad people assassinating, how can the security in this city be so lazy?"

Hearing this, Li Pu nodded.

After the two finished their meal, they put down their luggage, and Li Pu led Ning Caichen to inquire all the way to the front of Lin's residence.

Li Pu looked up and was almost caught in the eye.

Two huge silver lions are placed in front of the door, and they look very dazzling when the sun shines on them.

This Ningguo Mansion is desolate, but this Lin Mansion is lively.

There was a long line of people entering and exiting, and those who entered the gate of the Lin Mansion were all carrying various gifts.

"Shopkeeper Sun of Yuelai Inn, 100 taels of silver!"

"Splendid silk and satin shopkeeper Li, 300 taels of silver!"

"..."

Li Pu looked at the scene in front of him and was a little surprised. Didn't this mean that the prefect's son died?Why do you seem to be doing some happy event.

Li Pu has money on him, but how can he give gifts to this kind of prefect? ​​After going around a circle, he found a place where no one was there. Li Pu jumped onto the high wall of the Lin Mansion, and then dragged Ning Caichen into In the Lin Mansion.

After entering the Lin Mansion, Li Pu had a certain understanding of the prefect's financial resources.

The mansion was too big, and Li Pu walked for more than ten minutes without reaching the front yard.

When they reached the front yard, they realized that there were countless huge round tables in the huge front yard.

The people who gave gifts just now are gradually taking their seats.

Li Pu looked around and found a table near the front row to sit down.

"Hey, the income from these two months has been sent to the Lin Mansion again. I don't know when I will be the leader."

A man dressed as a businessman next to Li Pu sighed and said to another person.

"Ugh……"

Li Pu listened for a long time before he realized that the magistrate's greed for money was not only a bribe from others, but he also forcibly extorted from the merchants in the Ningguo Mansion.

Big things start with a hundred taels of silver, and small things start with ten taels of silver. If you have any precious calligraphy, paintings and antiques, he will never refuse.

Not to mention anything else, but this birthday, he will do it four times a year.

Using all kinds of messy reasons, he asked these people to give him gifts.

Even though the son is dead this time, the money cannot be spared.

The Ningguo Mansion is so quiet today because the big and small businesses in the city want to salute the prefect.

The magistrate almost robbed the money of Ningguo Mansion by himself.

Ning Caichen stared at the mountains of various gifts and silver, his eyes were wide open, he had never seen so much money.

At this moment, various dishes began to be served.

"Just a few peanuts, a cucumber, half a radish pickled, and two pages of fried cabbage, there is really no meat at all."

Li Pu didn't expect that the banquet of hundreds of taels of silver would be so chilling.

"This brother has just entered the Ningguo Mansion, right? Who doesn't know that the magistrate has plucked wild goose and only eats. If you want to eat something good from him, I'm afraid it's superfluous, hahaha."

After all, the man picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp, then cursed secretly.

"This time I don't even have wine, I use water to fool people."

"This is too picky..."

As night fell, a few scattered lanterns were hung in Nuo Da's courtyard, making the entire courtyard dim.

It seems that the magistrate was afraid that these people drank too much water and started to drive them away.

Not long after, everyone got up to say goodbye, and a man in an official robe came out from the inner mansion and bowed his hands to everyone.

People dispersed one after another, while Li Pu hid in the darkness on one side.

Seeing Lin Zhifu walking into the inner mansion, Li Pu also followed.

Prefect Lin went to a deep room and lit the incense in his hand. The incense smelled strong, and it was definitely the best incense.

Seeing this, Li Pu felt a little strange, why the food for the dead was so good when the food was so bad for the living.

The incense was placed in front of a tablet, and the magistrate respectfully knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Before the magistrate finished knocking, there was a shout of killing in the distance, followed by screams.

And the sound keeps coming here.

Suddenly, Li Pu felt a little cold on his body, and then a hand with long nails grabbed Li Pu.

"Brother Geng!"

Seeing this scene, Ning Caichen was almost frightened to death.

Li Pu turned his head and saw an evil ghost with a hand on his back, and a long wound was scratched from the clothes on his back.

The evil ghost carried a monstrous resentment, the strength of this evil ghost was probably several times stronger than Xiaoqian, and he alone could slaughter the Ningguo Mansion.

But when he met Li Pu, after the evil ghost's nails pierced Li Pu's flesh, he found that his nails were actually broken.

Before the evil spirit continued to attack, Li Pu turned around and punched the evil spirit in the face.

The fangs of the devil's mouth were splashed out by a punch, and then kicked out.

Before the evil spirit came back to his senses, Li Pu took two steps forward and grabbed the evil spirit by the neck.

"What a rascal, dare to act wild in front of grandpa."

After all, he punched the evil ghost in the face, and the resentment of the punched evil ghost dissipated a lot.
