Demon detective

Chapter 101 Follow
After half an hour, Xu Zhen returned to his home.

He hurried to the study, wanting to study something as soon as possible.

However, as soon as he entered the room, he immediately felt that something was wrong. With a shake of his right hand, he took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve!

Next, he entered his bedroom cautiously, but after entering, he quickly put away the dagger.

There was a young man standing in the room, who was Jia Ding, the younger brother of the cattle dealer Jia Yi.

In front of Jardin, there were two wooden boxes, one of which was opened, revealing the neatly stacked silver ingots inside.

"Benefactor, you are finally back!" Jardin hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Jardin," Xu Zhen frowned and asked after seeing the two boxes, "What does this mean? Isn't it agreed that one person should have one box?"

……

Back in time to Zuixianju, Xu Zhen and a group of policemen are distributing compensation to the victims whose property was robbed by Qiu Batian.

After all, a lot of money was involved, so Xu Zhen couldn't be the only one to preside over it. There were two clerks on the scene to record it, and there was also a yamen sent by the yamen to supervise it.

The duties of Xu Zhen and the other arresting officers were only to drive away Sima Xin's people and maintain order on the scene. All property had to be counted and checked one by one to prevent anyone from enriching their own pockets.

However, these rules and regulations can't stop Xu Zhen, so Jia Ding appeared among the people who received compensation.

Xu Zhen said before that there are two things that need Jia Ding's help, and there is a reward.

One of them was to send messages back and forth, causing Sima Xin and Cui Xiaotian to encounter each other.

And the other thing is to fish in troubled waters in Zuixianju.

Under Xu Zhen's arrangement, Jia Ding took out two boxes of silver as the victim.It was supposed to be one box per person, but unexpectedly, Jia Ding sent both boxes to Xu Zhen's home.

"Grandpa," Jia Ding said, cupping his hands, "I took two pieces of silver ingots in the box, and these two pieces of silver ingots are enough for my brother to renovate the house and buy cattle for farming!
"Our Jia family is grateful for being taken care of by benefactor, and we dare not take other things!"

"You... oh..." Xu Zhen frowned, "You may not know me well, I said I will give you a box, if you don't want it, we will not be friends from now on!"

"This..." Who knows, Jia Ding was stunned for a moment, and he knelt down in front of Xu Zhen on one knee, and said excitedly, "You are kind and righteous, you are resourceful, you are resourceful, and you are absolutely extraordinary. Jia Ding is willing to swear to die." Follow benefactor, beg benefactor to agree! These money are belongings outside the body, how about you treat him as my future reward?"

Hey?
Xu Zhen was surprised. He didn't expect Jia Ding to be so clever. He must have guessed that the downfall of Qiu Batian and Cui Xiaotian was related to him, and he would rather follow him than money.

Not bad……

Xu Zhen's eyes showed admiration. Jia Ding is a smart young man with high understanding. The key is that he is innocent and grateful. He is definitely a right-hand man.

"Okay, I promise you," Xu Zhen nodded, "but this box of silver is still yours. It is indeed easy to attract suspicion if you take it all out now, so let me put it here first. Whenever you need it, come and take it away at any time." That is.

"Also, the identity of the postman will not be changed for the time being. I will find you if necessary. You are in the dark, so it is easier to help me!"

"Okay!" Jia Ding hurriedly kowtowed to Xu Zhen, "Jia Ding is always on call!"

Xu Zhen hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Are you waiting for me here just to tell me these things?"

"Grandpa," Jia Ding said hastily, "I sent the silver last night. I was worried that thieves would come in, so I guarded here. Originally, I didn't see you back until dawn, so I wanted to leave first, but unexpectedly, I was blocked by three people." Under the bed, I didn't dare to move.

"They are two women, one big and one small, and a little brother dressed as a book boy. They went into the house to get some clothes, and talked through them. I guess it should be Engong's family?"

There is no doubt that the three people are: the young daughter-in-law Youmeng, the second cousin Zhang Wenxin, and the bookboy Gao He.

Xu Zhen nodded, and then realized that she hadn't seen a dream for several days. She must have never expected to live at the second cousin's house for so long, and she came back to pick up clothes.

No, I can't let Youmeng worry, I have to go and see her later, but I have to get the important things done first.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Jia Ding immediately bid farewell to Xu Zhen and left Xu's house.

Seeing Jia Ding leave, Xu Zhen opened another wooden box and muttered in his mouth: "Silly boy, you really aren't the kind who sees money, don't you know how to look under it?"
He removed the silver on the upper layer and opened the lower layer, which was full of golden gold ingots...

Fortunately, the ancestral hall had dug a pit before, so Xu Zhen directly put two boxes of gold and silver into the pit, covered it with floor tiles, and hid it in it.

Next, he finally returned to his study, took out the book "The Way of the Demon", and began to study it seriously...

During the study, he once again realized the value of this book. If he can really grasp all the contents in it, if he can understand it, then he is very likely to become a bug of the Daxuan Dynasty in the future! ! !

……

After some serious research, Xu Zhen finally finalized the final plan.

But it has to be said that due to the rush of time, the plan cannot be 100% perfect. It is possible that adjustments should be made at any time during the implementation process.

Among them, the most uncontrollable point is that there is too little information about Li Chan'er, Xu Zhen doesn't know what kind of personality this person is, and how strong his martial arts can be?
However, Xu Zhen is full of confidence in catching Li Sixiong.

After finalizing the plan, Xu Zhen rushed to the Jinxiu Study without stopping, saw the little daughter-in-law Youmeng, and secretly gave Youmeng a silver ingot while no one was watching.

"I have a dream," Xu Zhen exhorted, "For outsiders, just say that this is a reward given to me by the county government. From now on, we don't have to pay any bird debts anymore, just look at the flowers!"

"Master, I also heard that the Wansheng Gambling House was burned down, and Cui Xiaotian was arrested and taken into the government." Youmeng clasped her hands together, and said as if praying, "God bless us, we will finally be free next month." Don’t worry about repaying the money anymore, and don’t worry about the bully’s debt collection anymore!”

Xu Zhenxin said from the bottom of his heart, it is not God who blesses you, but your husband.

"Master..." Youmeng said excitedly, "How about... Shall I go home?"

"No," Xu Zhen said, "Cui Xiaotian's matter is not over yet, I have to stay in the yamen for the time being. Besides, it's a chaotic period, it's safer for you to stay with the second cousin."

"But...don't let Cui Xiaotian and the others come out again," Youmeng worried again, "We finally have something to look forward to."

"Don't worry," Xu Zhen said, "He won't be able to get out, and no one will demand debts from now on!"

In order to comfort Youmeng, Xu Zhen couldn't help but shake Youmeng's little hand.

Youmeng's cheeks were slightly flushed, and only then did she notice the silver ingot in her hand.

"Huh? Isn't that right?" Youmeng asked, "You just said that when someone asked, you said it was issued by the yamen, so this silver ingot..."

Xu Zhen smiled slightly, and immediately leaned close to Youmeng's ear, opening his mouth to speak nonsense: "Youmeng, we don't have to worry about money anymore, I have already dug up the cellar silver according to our ancestor's reminder..."

"Ah!?" Youmeng seemed to be dreaming after hearing it, and closed his mouth in surprise...
