Luo Butou walked into the county government office, hurriedly, and immediately summoned his men to arrest him, which completely closed the case, but he happened to meet the red-faced magistrate Liu.

As the magistrate of Yidu County, Liuzhi County is a county magistrate, and Keyi is the seat of Yizhou. The local administration of Dayan is basically a three-level system of prefectures, counties and counties. Compared with the adults in the county, almost all of them are here. Although the magistrate of Liu Zhi County is higher than ordinary magistrates, it is not enough.

A few days ago, the thieves were really rampant, and they only picked the treasures in the noble man's mansion. Liu Zhixian secretly guessed that in addition to gold, silver and jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, and rare medicinal materials, they also stole some objects that adults do not want to be obtained by outsiders.

He's under a lot of pressure.

Recently, a major case was solved. Although it was Luo Butou who was able to handle the case well, it was also due to him, the county magistrate, who withstood the pressure and supported him behind the scenes. The nobles in the city also praised him repeatedly. Looking at that posture, if the matter of the stolen goods is handled properly, it is not difficult to get promoted.

Liu Zhixian is proud of himself.

Seeing that Luo Butou was in such a hurry, he couldn't help but smiled and asked concerned: "Mingyuan, what happened again? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Return to my lord, the case of the robber who escaped from the ground has not been fully investigated, and my subordinates have to go to Tai'an Temple again."

"Famous, famous, I know that you are upright and eager to solve the case, but now that the thief has been captured, you don't have to work so hard anymore. Why don't you go home and rest for two days, and hand over the rest of the towel to you?" It’s not in a hurry for the subordinates to investigate slowly.” Liu Zhixian persuaded, “A few days ago you stayed up all night, if you don’t rest now, even your iron body can’t stand such a toss.”

"My lord doesn't know something, but my subordinates already have clues, so this case will be completely solved." Luo Butou said in a hurry, "My lord, hurry up, wait for my subordinates to clear up all the facts of the case, and then come back and report to your lord in detail. The fun part of it.”

"What's interesting?"

"More fun than grown-ups think."

"Then let's go!"

"yes!"

Luo Butou immediately ordered his subordinates to divide into two groups, one group went to Tai'an Temple to find out the situation in time, and he brought the other group into the county government prison.

Sure enough, when he first arrived in prison, he pointed out the poor scholar who had learned the method of escaping from the ground. The scholar had been beaten to the point of being wounded all over his body, but Luo Butou asked him to sit down very carefully, poured him a cup of tea, and reprimanded the yamen servant who tortured him, only then did he tell him what happened at Tai'an Temple at noon today He also hinted a few words that he already knew the matter between him and Master Guanghong, and advised him to be frank and lenient.

The scholar was shocked and immediately confessed.

A few years ago, a scholar went to Tai'an Temple to offer incense and ask for fame. He met Master Guanghong and talked with him.

Since then, the two have hooked up.

The scholar is indeed a good seedling, and in just two years, his achievements in escaping from the ground surpassed that of Master Guanghong. Then he stole everywhere under the guidance of Master Guanghong. Among them, all the gold, silver and jewelry stolen belonged to him. The antiques, calligraphy and paintings were half of each person, and Master Guanghong picked them first.

In addition, sometimes he would steal some ledgers and other things for Master Guanghong.

Luo Butou was secretly startled when he heard this.

Tai'an Temple is the most incensed temple in the city, although its status in Yizhou's religious circles is not as high as that of the thousand-year-old Taoist temple outside the city, it occupies a favorable location, and Master Guanghong is also the guest of honor of many nobles in the city.

Luo Butou felt that he should solve the case as soon as possible.

So I hurried to Tai'an Temple again.

The most capable people under his command have been sent here earlier, and they have inquired about the matter, and now those bystanders are still here. It's not that the arresting officers didn't let them go, but because of gossip mentality, they all spontaneously gathered around here, with red faces, waiting to watch the fun.

As soon as Luo catcher came, everyone was chattering.

Both in and out are inseparable from a handsome young man.

Some people said that they saw the young man bring the cat into the Five Views Hall, but there was no seat. After asking politely, he sat next to Master Guanghong. It seemed very casual, like a coincidence.

Some people said that they saw the young man and Master Guanghong walking towards the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas together along the winding corridor, talking softly, and they were very polite, as if they knew each other, but they seemed not to know each other.

Someone said that they heard Master Guanghong asking the young man what he wanted.

Some people said that the young man must be a demon, who murdered Master Guanghong with demon fire. Some people also said that Master Guanghong had a ghost in his heart, so he spontaneously burned himself in front of the Buddha to confess his crime.

Some people said that the fire had no temperature, and some said it was hot from a long distance away. Some said it was yellow, and some said it was red, but the clothes that fell on the ground unscathed could not be faked.

Everyone described the scene vividly.

Luo Butou was shocked when he heard it.

After taking over the position of headhunter for many years, he has seen many cases involving demons and ghosts, but rarely dealt with such cases involving gods and Buddhas.

I'm afraid his father hasn't seen him a few times.

But he remained calm.

First, he took people to search Master Guanghong's residence.

Apart from this demon monk, there seems to be no other people with good morals in this Tai'an Temple. But having said that, they have public positions, even if Master Guanghong is still there, as long as they are involved in the case, the only way to stop them is to put pressure on them through the nobles in the city.

So no one dared to stop it.

Sure enough, with years of experience, a group of arresters quickly found the stolen goods hidden by Master Guanghong.

A pile of unused medicinal materials, some antique calligraphy and paintings, as for those books, no matter if they were Buddhist scriptures or anything else, Luo Butou didn't read them at all, he just put them away in a box and took them back to the yamen.

...

An hour later, Yidu Yamen.

It was already dark.

There was a wooden box in the middle of the courtroom, and candles were lit beside it, swaying and illuminating the figures of several people.

Liu Zhixian was short in stature, and stood in the middle of the courtroom, in front of the box. Behind him followed an aide, Luo catcher and two catchers standing beside him respectfully.

Although it is a floating official system, he can be the chief official of a county. He is naturally superior to the subordinate officials, but the executive order depends on the cooperation of the subordinate officials. Among them, Luo Butou has always been respectful to Liu Zhixian, and Liu Zhixian is also very polite to him. This is their cooperation model.

Chief Luo has everything going on, starting from seeing Mr. Song's courtyard wall damaged when he went to work this morning, and then visiting Mr. Song again in the afternoon, the conversation between the two, the trip to Tai'an Temple, and even his own relevant speculations are all reported to Liu Zhixian. Clearly.

After listening, Liu Zhixian remained silent for a long time.

After a while, the staff reminded in a low voice behind him: "My lord, let's deal with the lost things of the nobles first..."

"Um."

Only then did Liu Zhixian come back to his senses, he looked at the box for the first time, and then at Luo Butou: "Have you checked the items inside?"

"My lord, this subordinate didn't take a look."

Liu Zhixian turned around and looked at the staff.

The staff member nodded to him.

"Mingyuan, you have always been very particular about your work. I am assured that I will invite adults to claim these items." Liu Zhixian said at this point, but after a pause, he still couldn't help it, and asked again, "What about the sweet water?" Mr. Xiang really only said a few words to Master Guanghong, and let Master Guanghong burn himself to death?"

"My lord, there were many pilgrims in Tai'an Temple at that time, everyone said so."

"Tsk tsk..."

Liu Zhixian was shocked in his heart, and felt like a fairy trick.

"Then what you said about the damage to the courtyard wall..."

"Although my subordinates haven't heard from Mr. Song what kind of monster did it, but I heard from the thief in the prison that Master Guanghong has three green-faced yakshas. They are more than ten feet tall and as big as cows. They stand on the ground. You can look at the people on the second floor, and it seems to be what this monster did."

"Then you said that there were no traces of fighting in the courtyard..."

"Not only is there no trace of fighting, but when I asked this afternoon, Mr. Song didn't seem to care. I'm afraid the Yasha ghost was subdued in an instant."

"..."

When Liu Zhixian heard the words, he turned his head and looked at the staff, and then sighed: "Such an expert, usually only cultivates in the mountains, when will I come to Yidu City..."

Luo Butou heard what he meant.

The county magistrate wanted to get acquainted before, but now he probably has the heart to visit.

"My subordinates heard that Mr. Song came here from a wandering, resting for the time being, and he used to practice in the mountains. Even in the city, he lived alone, only with the raccoon slaves. He likes to be clean, and he goes in and out every day. Go, I'm afraid I went to see the world of mortals." Luo Butou reminded vaguely.

"pity……"

Liu Zhixian shook his head.

That being the case, I don't dare to bother, but the magistrate of the city has longed for this way for a long time. After the case of Master Guanghong spread, most of them would come to ask. It's good to talk about, and secondly, the magistrate is a high-ranking official with extraordinary status, so he is naturally qualified to visit.

As for Master Guanghong...

Obviously, he violated the precepts and did something wrong, so he was burnt out in front of the Buddha Hall by karmic fire.

...

Luo Butou repaired the courtyard wall for Song You.

Song You didn't refuse either——

I set up a conspiracy for Luo Butou, and I received the money, so I have already settled the case, and it is right to bear the risk of being retaliated by the person behind the thief, and it is all in the twenty taels of silver. But after that, he helped Luo Butou to solve the case completely, and Luo Butou deservedly repaired the courtyard wall for him.

In Song You's mind, the two are still clean.

It's just that Luo Butou doesn't seem to think so.

He felt that he hadn't finished repaying Song You for his help, so he often sent some things, but they were all very real meat, vegetables and fruits.

Song You sometimes accepts, sometimes not.

Again--

Sometimes accepting other people's kindness properly is actually a manifestation of generosity.

Sometimes accepting it is to make Luo Tutou feel better. Sometimes it is not accepted, it is to grasp a scale, so as not to cause too much involvement.

Day by day, the days go by so fast.

There are extraordinary pleasures hidden in the ordinary.

The story of Master Guanghong's self-immolation in front of the Buddha Hall spread quickly and became something that ordinary people in Yidu talked about after dinner.

The rumors of the world are probably so.

In addition to listening to books, Song You became obsessed with listening to the piano.

Songlu in Beicheng is the residence of Duke Yang. Yang Gong is famous for being good at playing the piano. He often invites three or five friends to play the piano at home. Order a cup of tea under the tea shed and get drunk with the sound of the piano.

Songlu is not far away, Song You often passes by and stops for a while.

The weather is getting colder.
