Liao Zhai Great Kind People

Chapter 104
After sending Taoist Xuantian away, Zhang Xiu stood by the river, looking at the reward in hand, he couldn't help being dazed for a while.

[Heaven has the virtue of good life, you successfully released Taoist Xuantian, and you will be rewarded with 3000 years of experience in flying clouds and fog]

3000 years of experience...does this count the previous lifetimes of Mr. Guoshi?
It is a good thing to ride the clouds and ride the fog. It seems to be more handy to use it to deceive and kidnap Zhao Ji in the future?

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Xiu found a nearby inn and checked in.

The inn was a bit dilapidated, but Zhang Xiu had a whim during the day and worked as a cook for most of the day, and she was a little tired, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

During a period of drowsiness, Zhang Xiu vaguely saw the figure of a young woman on the wall, like a painting hanging there.

Zhang Xiu opened her eyes in a daze, and found that there was a beautiful girl in the painting, but she had a bitter face, her tongue was sticking out, and there was a noose around her neck.

Asleep, a hanged ghost suddenly appeared. Zhang Xiu woke up instantly, and asked with concern: "Miss, you look very painful, do you need my help? To be honest, I have experience of hanging myself." Some, I can teach you everything, and I will never hide anything!"

The expression on the hanged ghost's face suddenly changed to astonishment, he opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time: "..."

Thank you so much!

After hanging on the wall for a while, the girl couldn't bear it first, walked down slowly from the wall, and came to Zhang Xiu with a resentful expression on her face.

Looking at her frightened and wronged face, Zhang Xiu smiled a little, and said, "Girl, don't scare me. If you have any grievances, you can tell me, and I will help you!"

The woman sighed and said: "You and I met by chance, how dare you rush to ask for a big deal? However, the dry bones under the nine springs, after so many years, can't retract their tongues, and can't take off the noose. It's really miserable. Pray Please, let the innkeeper cut down this beam and burn it, and you will do me as much as a mountain."

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "You wait here first, I'll go ask the store owner."

After finishing speaking, he put on his shoes and went outside, called the shopkeeper, and asked: "Shopkeeper, I have something to ask you, is there a woman here who hanged herself here?"

The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he said: "Reporting to Master Qingtian, there was indeed a girl surnamed Mei who hanged herself here before.

More than ten years ago, this was the residence of the Mei family.One night a thief came in, was caught by the Mei family, and sent to the county government to be handed over to Dian Shi.

Unexpectedly, Dian Shi accepted the bribe of three hundred Wen from the thief, and framed the daughter of the Mei family for adultery with the thief.

When Mei Nu heard about it, she hanged herself. Not long after, the Mei family and his wife also passed away one after another, and the house belonged to me.Over the years, travelers who stayed in my hotel often said that she saw ghosts, but they couldn't calm her down. "

When Zhang Xiu heard this, his face darkened slightly, and he asked: "For a mere three hundred Wen, you frame up a person's life and destroy his innocence. Such a vicious official, if he doesn't kill him, it won't be enough to anger the common people! Who is the surname of Dian Shi, and is he still alive now? "

When the shopkeeper heard that Zhang Xiu wanted to eliminate harm for the people, he hurriedly said: "The man's name is Wang Er, and he works in the government office. He was just a scoundrel, and he bought this smelly official with money. Just stand upside down and face the sky!

There is nothing wrong with him being an official. Whoever has money is his own father. I don’t know how many innocent people have been wronged. This thing that is angry and resentful, now it is in the hands of Master Qingtian, and his death is imminent! "

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "If you want your inn to stop being haunted by ghosts in the future, you need to saw off and burn the girder where Mei Nu hanged herself, would you be willing?"

The shopkeeper looked a bit embarrassed: "My lord, it will cost too much to remove the roof and replace the girders. My business is not good in the first place, so I can't afford it."

Zhang Xiu smiled: "Of course the dog official Wang Er will pay the money. I will give him the money first, and I will ask him for interest in the future."

As he spoke, he took out a bank note from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

The shopkeeper quickly thanked him, went out to find someone overnight, and prepared to start work at dawn.

Zhang Xiu returned to the guest room, saw Mei Nu still waiting, and said, "The shopkeeper has already agreed to replace the girder on which you hung yourself, and you will be free tomorrow."

"In addition, I am the Lord Qingtian of Jinhua Mansion, and tomorrow I will go to the government office to help you avenge your grievances."

Mei Nu said in surprise: "Thank you, Master Qingtian, Master, to be honest, I was reincarnated in Zhan Xiaolian's house the day I died. It's just because I didn't avenge my revenge, so my soul stays here until now.

When the great revenge is avenged, please make a small bag out of new cloth and put my ghost in it, and take it to Zhan's house, and then the little girl can return to Yang. "

Zhang Xiu looked at Mei Nu, frowned and said, "Zhan Xiaolian, that sounds a bit familiar, oh, I remembered, you were reincarnated into a rich family!"

Mei Nu: "..."

Listening to the words of this old master Qingtian, he seems to be a little bit gangster-like!
Before dawn, the construction workers rushed over. After replacing the girders and burning them, Yan Feng put Mei Nu, who had recovered her normal appearance, into his own skin, and followed Zhang Xiu to the government office.

After notifying her name, Zhang Xiu came to the backyard of the government office.

The prefect of Hangzhou, named Bai Jia, seemed to be entertaining a high-ranking official from Beijing, and asked Zhang Xiu to be moved to a side hall, and a table was set up for a banquet.

Zhang Xiu was having a banquet, looked at the master who was accompanying him with a smile, and asked, "This mansion is really lively today, I don't know which adult from the court is here, maybe I still know him."

The master smiled and said: "My master is hosting a banquet for the current Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who came to assess his political achievements and plans to promote my master to take up a post in Beijing."

Zhang Xiu was slightly taken aback: "This Hangzhou mansion has been flooded for years, and the people can't live happily. How can your master still get promoted?"

The master smiled meaningfully, and said: "My lord, you are young, and you don't know the secrets of officialdom. The power to promote and demote officials is in the hands of the superior, not the common people.

The boss likes you, you are a good official, you love the common people, but what can the common people do to promote you? "

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu showed an educated look on his face, and then asked in a low voice, "How much money do you need to get promoted to the capital?"

The master smiled and said nothing, just turned over his palm.

Zhang Xiu gasped: "10 taels?"

The master nodded and said: "Including the money to open up the door, there is only a lot more. But adults don't need to be envious. As the saying goes, you are young, and you should be able to earn so much in a few years."

Zhang Xiu looked at Yan Feng and sighed, "I really didn't expect that it would be so difficult to get promoted. By the way, Brother Yan, how much money did we earn after going to Jinhua Mansion for more than a year?"

Yan Feng stretched out three fingers, and the master showed a surprised expression when he saw this: "3 taels, that's a lot."

Yan Feng showed a disdainful expression: "It's 300 million taels."

Master: "..."

I don't know the tricks of the officialdom, but the tricks of making money, I'm afraid my master can't even touch the shadow of the Qingtian master!
