Chapter 1 A young man has the guts to kill someone in anger

"Reporting to the Ming Dynasty, the criminal has been found out. His surname is Yu and his name is Youquan. He is a villager in Liulong Village."

"Have you been arrested and brought to justice? Has the motive for the crime been found out? Are there any other accomplices?"

The old county magistrate Wei, who was so anxious to get angry that his mouth was full of anger, was shocked, and he opened his mouth to ask three questions in a row.

It’s no wonder that the old county magistrate lost the dignity of a county parent. It was really because this major case in Longmen Town was too bad.

Since ancient times, the imperial power has not come down to the county.

In a small and remote county like Linchuan County, it is impossible not to pick up things on the road and close the house at night, and violations of discipline, such as theft, looting, trail cutting, tax resistance, and village fighting, often occur.

but.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Longmen He's compound was turned into ruins for no apparent reason with the sound of an explosion. Even Mrs. He and other nobles of the He family all died tragically, and countless servants were killed and injured.

How can it be a tragic word!
Many witnesses who saw the tragedy were so frightened that they fell to their knees and called for gods to appear.

In a short period of time, gossip such as "The He family of Longmen was punished by heaven for doing many evils" and "The unicorn son of the He family lost his heart" became even more clamorous.

It's no wonder that the people in the mountains and fields thought this way. After the big family in the town, the county old man and other officials arrived at the scene, the first thing they thought of was-did the Longmen He family offend the great practitioner so that they were wiped out?

The dilapidation of the He family compound is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

This is a world with practitioners, although practitioners are as rare as one in a million.

For many mountain people, they will never meet a practitioner in their life.

So many people regard the rumors of practitioners as legends, what's more, even many scholars question its authenticity.

but.

These suspicious people definitely did not include the county magistrate, the master, and all the big officials and gentry in Longmen Town.

Because there have been real practitioners in Longmen Town, and they are also Qilin children of the He family in Longmen.

It wasn't until a doctor identified the lingering smell of saltpeter and sulfur in the air, and the most experienced Luo Butou followed the clues to find the secret tunnel that the truth of the tragedy was revealed.

This is not only a man-made disaster, but also most likely not committed by practitioners.

because.

The practitioners they know will never leave any smell of sulfur and saltpeter after shooting.

It's too layman and unprofessional, even Yehu Zen doesn't carry such "evil ways", it's more like some kind of unknown tricks!

And this was a bolt from the blue for the old magistrate Wei.

Not only was he unable to hand over the case to the Zhenyi Division who was in charge of Jianghu affairs, but he also cruelly shattered his dream of being promoted and making a fortune while hugging He's thigh tightly!
Even if it was another big family who was wiped out, the old county magistrate Wei would not be so panicked, but that was the Longmen He family who walked out of the golden unicorn in the valley!
Especially that unicorn son He Qianxing became a direct disciple of Jiuxuanmen, and the whole He family of Longmen ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs.

Even a concierge may be more noble than his county grandpa!

What's more, even Longmen Town, Liulong Village and other areas have become famous mountains and rivers, attracting a large number of nobles to visit, and there are not a few nobles who buy houses here.

He, a small county magistrate who had no hope of promotion at all, was thus smeared into the eyes of the nobles in the capital. He saw a bright future. But everything was destroyed by an explosion.

The old county magistrate Wei can already foresee that this big case may spread throughout Dajin in a short period of time. What can I do?

What can I do!

For that villain, the old magistrate Wei wished he could eat his flesh and lay bare his skin!

Luo catches his head and cups his fists and said, "I would like to teach the Ming family to know. After searching all night by the humble official and other colleagues, I found that the Hejia secret road leads to Panlong Mountain. At the foot of the mountain is Liulong Village where the thief lives."

As Luo Chutou spoke eloquently, the old county magistrate Wei was expressionless, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's normal for a big family to have a secret tunnel. The longer the clan, the more prepared it is for the last survival of the family. However, it is obvious that the secret tunnel of the Longmen He family was discovered and used by villains.

What's worse is that this day is still the Mid-Autumn Festival, and most of the core clan members are there.

The old county magistrate Wei didn't know what to say for a while, did the birth of He's Qilinzi exhaust their family's luck?

The old county magistrate Wei: "How did you determine that the murderer was that Yu Youquan? What kind of enmity does he have with the Longmen He family?"

Luo Butou said, "Reporting to the Ming Dynasty, after the humble official and a group of colleagues walked out of the secret road, they immediately followed the clues to find Liulong Village, sealed off the village, and controlled Li Zheng and the famous old man. The interrogation preliminarily clarified all the conditions in the village. Only one young man named Yu Youquan was missing!"

"So that makes him a criminal?"

The old magistrate Wei frowned.

This is too imprecise!

Even he couldn't convince him, let alone the He family Qilin and the people in the court who were about to return.

According to Luo Butou's words, this Yu Youquan is only a suspect at best.

He didn't believe that a mud-legged boy from a mountain village had the ability to destroy the Longmen He family in a flash!
Luo Butou's expression was particularly exciting and he said, "Ming Fu is above, then Yu Youquan is a child prodigy!"

child prodigy?

Now even the old county magistrate Wei is not calm!

"Then Yu Youquan is still just a naive child?"

The old county magistrate Wei raised his eyebrows, he couldn't believe it for a moment.

If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that not only the He family unicorns but also the Yu family young dragons were born under his rule?

Is this Panlongshan the place where the Dragon Qi is favored?
The point is, if there is such a child prodigy, why has he never heard of it?

Luo Butou: "I couldn't believe it at first, but I heard from the villagers of Liulong Village that the old Yu's family has never produced a scholar in farming for generations. The copper coin of "Quan Er" felt festive, so he named his son "Youquan", but everyone usually calls him Yu Xiaoliu."

"Yu Xiaoliu, like the clay monkey in the village, has never read a book, but he was able to write with tree branches at the age of three. Everyone was surprised. After careful questioning, they found out that he learned to write by watching the second son of the Liu family write."

"By the way, Liu Er and several other children also confessed that Yu Xiaoliu even paid for them to do their homework, but his handwriting was discovered by Master Tao."

"Old Master Tao was delighted to see Lie Xin. He didn't charge money to let Yu Xiaoliu sit in. He learned quickly and well. For this reason, Old Master Tao made an exception and accepted him as a student."

"Yu Xiaoliu knew how to compose poems when he was four or four years old. The phrase 'spring comes and I don't speak first, which bug dares to speak' shocked Old Master Tao even more, and even strictly ordered him not to compose poems."

Along with Luo Tutou's eloquence, a child prodigy named Yu Youquan began to appear vividly on paper.

The old county magistrate Wei couldn't help but be overwhelmed by it, and even sighed.

Old Master Tao misunderstood me!
If Yu Youquan wrote more poems, he would surely become famous, and he would surely hear about them early on. How could a prodigy be buried in the countryside?

That is political achievement and fame!
but.

The old county magistrate Wei can also understand Tao's thoughts, Hui Ji will be hurt, the child's mind is undecided, and it may not be a good thing to be famous too early!
Luo Butou added, "Master Tao is also really considerate of his disciples. Not only did he teach him how to read and write, but he also taught him swordsmanship and boxing skills. He has both civil and military skills at a young age, and he sees a bright future."

The old county magistrate Wei was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly said, "Then Master Tao is a practitioner?"

"Probably not."

Luo Butou thought for a while and then said, "Although Mr. Tao is respected as a master, he is actually old and poor. He has been suffering from illness for many years, and his disciples are not promising."

The old county magistrate Wei didn't say a word.

A person cannot be judged by his appearance. What if he is a great sage from the wilderness?

In fact, Old County Magistrate Wei is more willing to believe that Old Master Tao is a practitioner, otherwise Yu Youquan, a dusty child prodigy, would be too scary!

Luo Butou: "Yu Youquan is also worthy of the name of a genius. Not only did he learn from Master Tao, he also learned from all talented people in the village. He learned to carve from a carpenter, learned to farm from a farmer, and what's more, he only learned from a herb picker and sold medicine. I learned to identify medicinal herbs.”

"Under his hand-in-hand teaching, both Lao Yutou and Yu Dalang Yu Erlang learned to identify and process medicinal materials, and made a lot of money for a while, and their family fortunes have prospered."

What a child prodigy!

The old county magistrate Wei also listened with high spirits.

The old county magistrate Wei sighed, "But what happened?"

Luo Butou said in a deep voice, "When the Yu family's medicine business was booming, the He family stepped in, and the old Yu family lost all their money."

"???"

The old county magistrate Wei was dumbfounded.

Even if the He family of Longmen is not as good as a wealthy family, it is still a well-known family. Can they take advantage of the old Yu family's medicinal materials business?
Catcher Luo: "It's He Zhong who has taken a fancy to it."

The old magistrate Wei was puzzled, "Who is He Zhong?"

Luo Butou: "After the family slave of the He clan of Longmen, the Qilin of the He family became a direct disciple of the Jiuxuanmen, the whole He family rose, and He Zhong and his brothers and sister-in-law surrounded the entire Panlong Mountain."

County Magistrate Wei Lao: "."

The culprit of all is actually a slave?
Old Mrs. He and all the nobles who knew the truth probably will die in peace!

The old county magistrate Wei frowned more and more, but he remembered some old things.

Since the He family's unicorn took off, the business related to the He family's fields, mountains, forests, rivers, grain, cloth, medicinal materials and antiques has skyrocketed, and lawsuits have also increased sharply.

For this reason, he also received a lot of filial piety from the He family, but he never thought that there would be such a ruthless character as Yu Youquan in a corner that no one knew about.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Wei couldn't help but break out in thick cold sweat.

"More details."

"Yes. After He Zhong circled Panlong Mountain, he accidentally learned that the Yu family had sold some precious medicinal materials such as Polygonum multiflorum and Polygonatum, which are relatively old. He not only asked the Yu family to return the money, but also opened his mouth to quote a sky-high price."

"."

"At that time, Yu Xiaoliu was too young. Old Yu was so forced that he had no choice but to sell the land. Even the big girl of the Yu family who had promised to marry was forced to sell herself into He Zhong's house as a maid."

"Wait, He Zhong's family still orders servants?"

The old county magistrate Wei blew his beard and stared, furious, even more angry than hearing that He Zhong committed murder and arson.

Exceeding the rules, a crime of disrespect!

Luo Butou was speechless, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Perhaps in the eyes of old parents like the county magistrate, "exceeding the rules" and "transgressing" are more noble than human life.

County Magistrate Wei also knew that he was a little rude, but he still couldn't help but sigh.

After all, the background of the Longmen He family is a little shallow, and the family management is not rigorous. A mere slave family relied on the power of the master's family to do evil, and the master's family was almost wiped out.

The old county magistrate Wei shook his head, and said coldly, "The injustice has its head, and the debt has its owner. Yu Liu's revenge is wrong!"

Luo Butou: "One year later, when Yu Xiaoliu was five years old, they accidentally learned that Yu's daughter-in-law had already been beaten to death by He Zhong's daughter-in-law who treated her servants harshly."

County Magistrate Wei Lao: "."

Luo Butou said again, "In order to pay off the debts, the evil slaves of He Zhong's family did all kinds of tricks. Under the pressure of profit, old Yutou and Yu Erlang Yu Sanlang were forced to go deep into Panlong Mountain to collect medicine. They didn't come back."

It is said that the county magistrate Pojia, the old county magistrate Wei knew that he was not a master of Qingtian, but at this moment he couldn't help but gasp.

They are all from the village, and this servant of the He family is too ruthless, it's unimaginable that he looks so ugly!
The old county magistrate Wei didn't know that once the oppressed people stand up, they will oppress others even more cruelly.

Luo Butou: "Old Master Tao supported the students after he found out, and went to He Zhong's house to argue in person, was so angry that he vomited blood, and unfortunately passed away."

County Magistrate Wei Lao: "."

In this way, Master Tao is really not a practitioner?
What a baby dragon!
Luo Butou: "Old Yutou and Yu Dalang Yu Erlang were trapped in the deep mountains, and the Yu family was so impoverished that they couldn't get rid of it. Yu Silang fell ill soon after, and died soon after. The Yu Zhang family couldn't bear the blow and followed."

Even the old county magistrate Wei couldn't help feeling compassionate at this time, and sighed, "The hemp rope is only broken at the fine point, and bad luck only finds the poor, it's a pity!"

"He Zhong was killed?"

Luo catches his head.

"He Zhong's family is doing well!"

The old county magistrate Wei sneered, "If Yu Youquan doesn't touch him, then we won't touch him either."

As the magistrate of the county, how could he not understand what Yu Youquan was thinking?

Although He Zhong's family is the direct cause, the root cause is the Longmen He family. As long as the Longmen He family is beaten, not only He Zhong's all the evil-doing slaves will be able to escape.

Because of the He family unicorn, this incident may spread throughout the Great Jin Dynasty, and at that time, the big families in the world may be frightened to rectify their family traditions.

Worthy of being a child prodigy!
Enough!

Transparent enough!
pity!

The old county magistrate Wei: "After talking so much, you still didn't say how you confirmed that the murderer was Yu Youquan?"

Luo Captou: "On the path leading from Liulong Village to Panlong Mountain, we found a smooth rock wall with a letter left by Yu Youquan - the murderer Yu Youquan."

The old county magistrate Wei remained silent for a long time.

After half an hour.

The old magistrate of Wei's eyes lit up and said, "A young man has the courage to kill in anger. Revenge is the most reasonable thing in the world, but killing and paying for life is also the reincarnation of heaven. Immediately organize people to go to the mountain to search, and we must not escape the murderer."

"In addition, keep an eye on all the servants of the He family and don't let any accident happen to any of them."

"Yes."

Luo Butou: "To teach Mingfu to know, the direction of the book may be false."

"Oh?"

"Leaving a letter is too deliberate, and the footprints are too obvious. It is probably the deceitful trick of the Yu Xiaoliu envoy. I asked to send all the hounds in the town and nearby villages to assist in the search. In addition, each household took a dog to search in the mountains to prevent the humble Misjudgment."

"Certainly, the prisoner is the young dragon of the Yu family after all, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too cautious."

Yu family young dragon?

Luo Butou couldn't help but be astonished.

This is a title as famous as the He family Qilin!
But soon, Luo Tutou found something tricky. The old county magistrate Wei was looking for a way out!

In case their actions fail, it is said that the opponent is a child prodigy, the young dragon of the Yu family who is as famous as the Qilin of the He family.

Since it is a young dragon as famous as the He family Qilin, it is perfectly normal that ordinary people like them can't catch it.

Damn, there are so many twists and turns in the stomach of an official!
At this moment, another thunder rang in Luo Butou's heart.

"An order was issued to arrest the murderer Yu Youquan and bring him to justice. Those who capture the murderer alive will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, the body will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver, and those who provide information will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

Now, not only Luo Baotou, but also all the men's hearts became hot.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man!

Yu Youquan, a ten-year-old child, has even surpassed many thieves in the silver rewards!
Yu family young dragon?

A dead bone in a tomb!
