Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 29 When the dust settles, Fu Yuanlong leaves
The next day.

A wanted warrant issued by Xu Dianshi was posted on various bulletin boards in the city.

In an instant, the entire Canglong County was shocked.

"Zhou Ze is a traitor?!"

"Hasn't he worked in Canglong County for more than ten years? Why did he suddenly become a traitor?"

"What's so strange, the rebel dares to say that he is a rebel?"

"Heh, I've long felt that this Zhou Ze is not clean, but I didn't expect it to be a traitor."

"Hiss! Whoever catches Zhou Ze will be rewarded with 1 taels of silver?"

"Come on, it's the government's business to arrest people, it has nothing to do with us ordinary people."

"I don't want to arrest people, but there are rewards for providing effective clues..."

"..."

The enthusiasm of the common people was mobilized in this way.

For Zhou Ze, who was labeled as a 'rebel', they reported it without any psychological burden.

All kinds of gossip fell like snowflakes to the clue collection office of the county government.

However, I have to say that Zhou Ze's disguise was really good, not worse than Wu Wenjing at all.

There are thousands of clues, but none of them are useful.

What is "Which road did Zhou Ze pass by?".

What's 'Zhou Ze rented out Chunhualou for a few months and a few days'.

What is 'Zhou Ze's big birthday banquet'.

It's all this kind of information that doesn't have much value, and it's not up to the standard of bounty exchange.

"How could there be no clue left..."

In the inner hall of the county government office, Fu Yuanlong was very puzzled, "Could it be that the water ghosts were cleaned up before they left?"

"its not right……"

"Since the water ghost chooses to take the initiative to expose, it means that he will not come back again. Even if he leaves any evidence, it will not hinder him. Why bother?"

At this moment, Xu Chong walked in with a letter, and saw Fu Yuanlong's expression.

"Are you thinking about clues?"

"Xu Chong."

Fu Yuanlong regained his senses and nodded, "I was thinking about this."

"The lower official believes that 8 taels of treasure is enough to prove many things."

Xu Chongdao, "After all, treasure banknotes are extremely unstable, and the market fluctuates from time to time. It is far less secure than real gold and silver."

"Who would exchange most of the family wealth for precious banknotes?"

"Only rebels."

"Because the rebels may reveal their identities at any time, only the most portable treasures are the necessities for them to travel around."

What Xu Chong said was reasonable and well-founded.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yuanlong waved his hand, "There are some things you don't know yet. The 8 taels of treasure may also be Zhou Ze's plan to buy a great medicine to break through the realm."

"Big medicine?"

Xu Chong was puzzled.

"It is the medicine that can be used to break through the small realm after taking it. The big medicine is used for the enlightened state, and the precious medicine is used for the meridian state."

Fu Yuanlong explained, "Big medicines are expensive, so they will inevitably attract covetousness. Most people will choose to use precious banknotes, or even change their appearance to hide their identities."

"I see……"

Xu Chong was thoughtful, and handed over the letter in his hand, "I wonder if this thing can prove Zhou Ze's identity as a traitor."

"Letterhead?"

Fu Yuanlong was surprised.

"It was sent by the instruction of Wang Crane King of the county school, with his seal on it."

"Wang Hezhi?"

Fu Yuanlong frowned, not having the slightest impression of the name.

However, after unfolding the letter paper and just sweeping it slightly, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Wu slave?!"

"How dare you!"

Fu Yuanlong's face suddenly changed.

Wu Nu...

Master knows about Zhang Youde?
Xu Chong's heart moved slightly, and he asked: "Dare to ask my lord, what is a martial slave?"

"You do not know?"

Fu Yuanlong was a little surprised, and immediately nodded again, "Yes, although you are already an official, you have not contributed enough. Knowing too much will be harmful instead of beneficial."

"You just need to know that raising martial slaves is something that is explicitly prohibited by the imperial court, and you can only do it secretly. Once proven, even a first-rank official will be dismissed and investigated."

"This letter...Zhou Ze raised martial slaves in Canglong?"

Xu Chong pretended to be surprised.

"Well, unfortunately, that martial slave is already dead."

Fu Yuanlong felt a little regretful, and asked instead: "Do you know this Wang Hezhi well?"

"Before Xia Guanyin made up the history of the classics, he studied under the seat of the master."

Xu Chong answered truthfully.

"Oh?"

Fu Yuanlong was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at Xu Chong a few more times, "So he's still a scholar, no wonder...why don't you continue to study?"

Isn't it too stupid to leave the Kangzhuang Avenue and come here to be a history breaker?
"This...don't dare to lie to your lord. When my father was a canonist, the people complained a lot."

Xu Chong's face darkened, "As a son of man, I can't bear to continue to be infamous after my father's death..."

"understood."

Fu Yuanlong waved his hand.

He has already seen too many incredible things from Xu Chong, and this one is not much.

"I don't know if this letter will be useful to adults?"

Xu Chong asked.

"Yes, but not much."

Fu Yuanlong secretly sighed.

With the existence of Wu Nu, even if Zhou Ze is not a traitor, he must be a traitor.

Because if Zhou Ze is not a traitor, then all those who have had a close relationship with him will be thoroughly investigated.

Therefore, as long as the report is handed in, Zhou Ze's reputation as a traitor will not escape.

But the problem is.

Relying on this alone cannot prove Xu Chong's inference.

The statement that "Taiping Dao has plotted Canglong for more than ten years" may not be recognized by the above.

The best ending is nothing more than exempting him from his faults, and no longer being held accountable. Don't even think about the credit.

Ugh……

I thought that another village would be brightened by the willows and flowers, but in the end it was all in vain.

Fu Yuanlong collected his mind, and said to Xu Chong: "I'm going back to the prefecture right away, and to the county seat, your memorabilia should be delivered as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty understands."

Xu Chong cupped his fists.

Fu Yuanlong just left.

Just like when it came, no one knew.

A mess was left behind.

But Xu Chong couldn't ignore it.

The county magistrate died and fled with the chief bookkeeper, and he became the only official in the county government.

Lifting the blockade of the county seat and resuming the affairs of Liufang, the emotions of the people must be appeased.

The most important thing is to restore people's livelihood.

The blockade of more than ten days has caused great troubles to the lives of the people.

Commerce and industry are okay, but they have stagnated, and it is easy to pick them up again.

But agriculture is different.

The farmland outside the city has been abandoned for half a month without anyone taking care of it. If it is not rescued, the autumn harvest will be bad after more than a month.

In short, this was the first time in Xu Chong's two lifetimes that he didn't envy civil servants at all.

It took a whole day just to settle the affairs of the sixth room.

It took another three days to resolve the disputes between vendors.

Finally, Min Zhuang was called on to help in the farmland outside the city.

It has been half a month since Canglong County restored the previous order.

Although Xu Chong has the strength of enlightenment, he is still exhausted from exhaustion.

"Damn... When the new county magistrate arrives, if I don't give me a proper credit, I will never end with him!"

Xu Chong complained, and dragged his tired body back to Xu Mansion.

"Master, you are back!"

The housekeeper Lao Li came up with two maids, "Sir, should you take a bath first or eat first?"

"Old Li..."

Xu Chong looked at the butler in a daze, and then remembered another old Li.

With such a serious injury, I don't know what's going on now.
