Demon detective

Chapter 162 The Book Boy
One evening.

In the backyard of Xu's house, in the garden path, Xu Zhenzhen talked with Li Chan'er, Bingshan's jade sister.

The golden afterglow reflected on Li Chan'er's delicate face, which looked radiant and truly beautiful.

"So..." Li Chan'er pinned the whisk to the inside of her elbow, and stood with her hands down, floating away from the dust, "Meng Zhixiao is already homeless?"

"Yes," Xu Zhen nodded, "The county magistrate ordered all the property of Meng Qingxi's family to belong to Meng Zhichao and his wife as compensation."

"But," Li Chan'er said, "Meng Qingxi didn't just harm Meng Qinghui's family, but the whole village!"

"I have to say," Xu Zhen looked into the distance, pretending to be deep and said, "The bad roots of those villagers made it so. They forcibly divided up the property of Meng Qinghui's family and squeezed Meng Zhichao and his wife for three full years. Do you want to give them any more compensation?"

"Oh," Li Chan'er nodded, "What about the county magistrate? I think it's all yours! Then...how did Meng Shaojun's property be dealt with afterwards?"

"Well," Xu Zhen smiled cryptically, "but it's inconvenient to reveal it!"

In fact, all property of Meng Shaojun's family was naturally confiscated and returned to the county government for disposal, but Xu Zhen deliberately sold it to keep it for future meetings.

"In that case..." Li Chan'er seemed to be immune to Xu Zhen's stubbornness, so she didn't get angry immediately, and said lightly, "The words have been finished, please go back!"

Li Chan'er obviously wanted to join Xu Zhen's army. She concluded that Xu Zhen deliberately chose such a beautiful evening to meet her, and it was definitely not just to report the progress of the case to herself.

However, she did not guess correctly again, but seeing Xu Zhen respectfully salute, shouted "Miss, rest early", turned and left the backyard...

This……

Li Chan'er looked up at Xu Zhenyuan, feeling extremely angry in her heart, if a Taoist nun could swear, she probably really wanted to swear loudly.

Xu Zhen is dead!
Li Chan'er stared coldly, her heart was going crazy, she really wanted to fly the Emei stab in her sleeve, and stab Xu Zhen right through...

Why……

why! ?

She was very puzzled, why this seemingly ordinary Xu Zhen couldn't get rid of it in her mind?

I obviously don't take him seriously, but it seems that I always think of him in my heart?

She thought that Xu Zhen would analyze the matter of Tianxuanzong with herself next, to see if it was possible to reveal their secrets in the future.

However, he just... left! ?

asshole!

shameless!
crazy……

Miss Li greeted Xu Zhen over and over again in her heart with the title she could think of.

This bastard, who obviously has a wife and a personal maid, yet still publicly said that he wanted to pursue Miss Ben.Talk about pursuit, but now it's like this...

However, as she cursed and cursed, she couldn't help thinking:

once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking……

Sparse shadows, horizontal slanting water, clear and shallow water, dark fragrance floating moon dusk...

A white-clothed angry horse, full of love and hatred, if you are the king's companion, what will the husband ask for?
Can I do another dance for you, I am the white fox you released thousands of years ago...

And every time she thinks of this, she can't help but want to see Xu Zhen, even if she hears Xu Zhen say a few crazy words, she seems to feel better...

……

At the same moment, Xu Zhen was also thinking about Li Chan'er's ethereal and peerless beauty.

He wished he could spend the night chatting with this Bingshanyu sister!
But experience told him that he absolutely couldn't do that.

As an ordinary person like myself, if he wanted to keep Li Chan'er on top, he must not be too vulgar or greasy.

Otherwise, a nearly perfect chivalrous woman like Li Chan'er would have no chance at all...

Nowadays, Xu Zhen has both a wife and a charming maidservant to accompany him, so he has almost no privacy with Li Chan'er, but the more he is like this, the more he can arouse Li Chan'er's interest.

Could it be... Xu Zhenxin sometimes feels guilty in his head, feeling like a scumbag.

But... I am a time-traveler, and I don't have a golden finger, so why can't I enjoy the benefits brought by the husband-wife system in this era?

Besides, sincerity is my sincerity, my determination is unswerving, I will definitely be responsible for everyone, and I will never be a scumbag...

……

The next morning, Xu Zhen came to work at Dianmao, Yamen.

Despite the worries of the Tianxuan secret party, the past few days have indeed passed smoothly. Since the case of Yaochang Village was handled, the yamen has become increasingly deserted.

The county magistrate Chen Houlu took wolfberry tea again, the yamen servants were chatting and farting, and the policemen were laughing and playing, everyone was leisurely and happy.

Xu Zhen is a hard-working person. When he has nothing to do, he finds many books on humanities and history, reads them, and wants to learn more about the Daxuan Dynasty.

The Daxuan Dynasty had a vast territory, with a total of 24 prefectures under its jurisdiction.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the names of almost every state correspond to the dynasties that Xu Zhen knew before.

For example, Songzhou where they are now, Hanzhou in the southwest, Qingzhou in the northeast, Yuanzhou in the north, Chuzhou in the south, Tangzhou, Mingzhou, Qinzhou, Xiazhou and so on.

There are counties under the state, and counties under the county.

In other words, the Daxuan Dynasty adopted three levels of local management: state, county, and county, which is equivalent to the provinces, cities, and counties in the original world.

The Songzhou where Xu Zhen is located is slightly different from other states, because in the center of Songzhou is the capital of the Daxuan Dynasty - Xuanmiao City.

Xuanmiao City is also known as the Holy Capital. Although it is directly managed by the royal family, it has a close relationship with Song Prefecture because of its geographical location.

After all, Songzhou officials are close to the water and have close contacts with the holy capital, so they have advantages that other state capitals cannot match.

It is also because of this that Han Wentao, governor of Songzhou, has such a strong backing.

Of course, Xu Zhen checked the information with a purpose. He wanted to check the Wanfu Palace assassination incident 40 years ago, trying to learn about the mysterious Taoist organization...

It's a pity that the county government's book resources are scarce, and I haven't found any relevant information after searching for a long time.

But at this moment, a thin, immature, but unusually urgent call came from outside: "Cousin, cousin...Cousin Xu Zhen...where are you?"

Hey?
Xu Zhen quickly closed the book and went outside to have a look.

At this time, Shen Yu, the tiger girl, roared: "Where did you come from, you can't make any noise here!"

"I..." The calling stopped immediately, as if she was frightened by Shen Yu.

At this time, Xu Zhen had already seen clearly that the person who came was the little book boy Gao He from his second cousin Zhang Wenxin.

"Gao He?" Xu Zhen was surprised and hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?"

"Cousin Xu Zhen, woo woo..." Unexpectedly, the little book boy cried when he saw Xu Zhen, and hurried over and shouted, "Go and have a look! Something happened to our house, woo woo..."

"What!?" Xu Zhen stared wide-eyed, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Official servants, woohoo..." Gao He cried, "Early in the morning, a group of official servants appeared out of nowhere. After breaking into our house, they began to rob things. Madam and Second Miss... were bullied by them. It's..."
