Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 187 Other people’s younger brothers can play drums
Qinghe County, county government office.

Mr. Yuan knelt there blankly, crying uncontrollably.

Zhou Ping looked at Yuan Gong's back. Yuan Gong was bent over and felt like he had lost his spine. His entire spine seemed to have disappeared in an instant.

Zhou Ping had seen this condition before. He had seen it in Uncle Lame.

th.

Mr. Yuan’s heart is dead.

Zhou Ping sighed. He was not lamenting the injustice of the world, but the hope he had given to Yuan Gong, which was shattered.

It doesn’t matter if there is no hope, Mr. Yuan had no hope in the first place.

But Zhou Ping gave Yuan Gong hope again, but the hope was shattered again.

This was tantamount to tearing the original wound open again, causing Mr. Yuan to experience the pain all over again.

Yan Yi wanted to persuade Yuan Gong to leave, but Zhou Ping stopped her. Let Yuan Gong be completely released once again.

Zhou Ping was prepared to attack Yuan Gong at the beginning. He thought Yuan Gong would be broken by sadness and then go berserk.

If Yuan Gong went berserk, it would be extremely disadvantageous to him. Even if he could kill Lu Chang, he would have to sacrifice his own life.

But if Mr. Yuan died, what would happen to his family?

Zhou Ping didn't expect that Yuan Gong still endured it. Yuan Gong could endure it when Lu Chang was in front of him, so he probably wouldn't explode now.

Since Yuan Gong was fine, Zhou Ping took He Yunqing and Yan Yi away from the county government office.

"Some children are just children." Zhou Ping couldn't help but sigh.

He Yunqing went on to say: "Some children are not ordinary children."

Yan Yi spitted and said, "What do you mean they are not ordinary children? Some children are devils."

Zhou Ping and He Yunqing didn't say anything. They knew Yan Yi was right, but they became more cautious.

Zhou Ping did not respond, but started to make plans in his mind.

The son of County Magistrate Lu is really too arrogant.

"By the way, Zhou Ping, there is a mission to Qingyuan County tomorrow." Yan Yi suddenly remembered the mission of the escort agency.

Zhou Ping nodded: "I can do it alone."

"it is good!"

In the county government office.

County Magistrate Lu was scolding Lu Chang: "You little bastard, be more careful next time. Not many people saw you this time. If you let everyone see what you did, I won't be able to save you."

Lu Chang lay on the chair, looking nonchalant: "I know, I know, just don't kill anyone and don't let anyone see it."

"We can go now," Lu Chang said, and he wanted to leave. He had been trapped in the county government office for several days.

Lu Chang was very smart. He knew that after this incident, County Magistrate Lu would no longer detain him.

At the same time, Captain Lu also knew the bottom line of County Magistrate Lu and the bottom line of Qinghe County.

If killing people is okay, then playing tricks on people is no big deal.

"Young Master, you'd better be careful these days and try to come back at night. I'm afraid Engineer Yuan or others will attack you." Wang Cheng gave a kind reminder.

Wang Cheng also couldn't stand Lu Chang's behavior, and his reminder was purely for the sake of Lu County Magistrate's face.

Lu Chang looked at Wang Cheng with disdain, and then said to County Magistrate Lu: "Dad, you have to arrange for Leng the Captain to take care of me, so that nothing happens to me."

Lu Chang looked down on Wang Cheng, he felt that Wang Cheng was far inferior to Leng the Captain. Leng the Captain was very efficient, he would kill people when he should, and would make scapegoats when he should.

County Magistrate Lu nodded and said, "Captain Leng, you are an eighth-rank cultivator, so I'd like to trouble you to take care of my son for the next few days."

Captain Leng did not nod, but said: "Sir, the young master's food, clothing and other expenses are not enough for me to support him with this monthly salary."

I can take care of your son, but you have to pay extra!
The head of police is a link between the county magistrate and Qinghe County.

The head of the police collected money from both the black and white circles in Qinghe County, and then divided the money with the county magistrate.

Captain Leng has been a captain for more than ten years and knows all the benefits of Qinghe County.

Even if he was the night incense seller, Captain Leng would ask him to pay tribute every month. Otherwise, he would have to find someone else to do this job.

Leng, the head of the police, had accumulated a lot of wealth by virtue of his position as head of the police. But after County Magistrate Lu arrived in Qinghe County, he found a reason to let Wang Cheng go to the head of the police in Qinghe County.

Captain Leng was naturally unhappy, and he had been looking for an opportunity to take back everything that belonged to him.

County Magistrate Lu nodded and looked at Wang Cheng: "Well, the casino in the east of the city will be in your charge from now on."

Wang Cheng's expression changed slightly.

The casino is the most profitable business among all the businesses in Qinghe County. Every month, every casino would hand over several hundred taels of silver to Wang Cheng and County Magistrate Lu.

There are five casinos in Qinghe County, and the money earned by the casinos is equivalent to half of the income of Wangcheng and Lu County Magistrate.

County Magistrate Lu gave Captain Leng a gambling house, which meant that this gambling house would belong to Captain Leng from now on.

Wang Cheng had a gloomy face and said nothing. Who made Captain Leng an eighth-rank officer while he was only a tenth-rank officer?
Moreover, Lu Chang's action did give Captain Leng an opportunity to negotiate terms with County Magistrate Lu.

Captain Leng smiled at Wang Cheng: "Okay, sir."

Captain Leng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect County Magistrate Lu to be so generous that he actually gave the money directly to a gambling house.

But Captain Leng also understood that this was County Magistrate Lu trying to show his good will to him. After all, Wang Cheng was still too young.

Wang Cheng is not only young, but also not as cruel as himself. This may be the real reason why County Magistrate Lu gave him a gambling house.

Perhaps Magistrate Lu has also discovered that Wang Cheng is not evil enough!
"By the way, Dad, don't forget about the ghost of Mr. Yuan's daughter. I'm afraid she will come looking for me." Lu Chang said with some fear.

Lu Chang suddenly remembered that there was a female ghost! What if the female ghost came looking for him?
After all, Lu Chang himself was the murderer who tortured and killed Yuanyuan.

County Magistrate Lu snorted coldly: "Are you afraid now? If you are really afraid, then study hard and get into the rank as soon as possible! Once you get into the rank, you will have the Confucian righteousness to protect you, and even ghosts can't get close to you."

Lu Chang said impatiently: "I know, I know, this is all for the future, now we still have to get rid of the female ghost."

County Magistrate Lu looked at Wang Cheng and Captain Leng and said, "Captains, what do you think?"

After Magistrate Lu came to power, he removed Captain Leng from his position as Captain and replaced him with Captain Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng was attentive in his work, but his methods were not ruthless enough. For example, Captain Leng killed two young men from the Wild Dog Gang as scapegoats for Lu Chang, which made County Magistrate Lu very satisfied.

Besides, Captain Leng was an eighth-rank official, so Magistrate Lu had no choice but to rely on him.

Although Captain Leng no longer has the position of captain, his status is now on par with Wang Cheng.

“Captain Wang should handle the ghost matter. Doesn’t Wang Cheng have a good relationship with Zhou Ping? Zhou Ping is an eighth-rank Buddhist and has a ghost bride by his side. This matter will be easy for him.” The cold captain looked at Wang Cheng with a sinister smile.

Wang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he glared at Leng, the captain of the police. Leng knew the relationship between Zhou Ping and Yuan Gong, and he asked Wang Cheng to do this, which was clearly intended to embarrass Wang Cheng.

Zhou Ping and Yuan Gong were both great helpers to him in the human trafficking case. Zhou Ping and Yuan Gong had a good relationship, and Yuan Gong even worked as a bodyguard in Zhou Ping's home.

Captain Leng knew the relationship between Zhou Ping and Yuan Gong, and he just wanted to make things difficult for Wang Cheng.

"This?" Wang Cheng was a little embarrassed.

County Magistrate Lu was slightly angry: "If you can't even handle a little devil, what else do you need me for?"

County Magistrate Lu still had some complaints about Wang Cheng giving the business of He's medicine shop to Zhou Ping in order to please him. He's medicine shop also brought in a lot of income. Wang Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, wait a moment, I will go find Zhou Ping now. Zhou Ping was here just now, so he should not have gone far."

After Wang Cheng finished speaking, he left immediately.

Captain Leng sneered and said to Magistrate Lu, "Sir, I don't think Zhou Ping will help me with this. Sir, give me the He family's business and I will find someone to deal with this little devil."

County Magistrate Lu frowned and thought for a moment: "Let's see what Wang Cheng says."

After a while, Wang Cheng came back.

"Captain Wang, how is it?" Captain Leng thought that Wang Cheng had met with failure.

Wang Cheng said to County Magistrate Lu, "Don't worry, sir. I have taken care of this matter. The ghost of Mr. Yuan's daughter will not cause trouble for you."

Captain Leng paused slightly. He didn't expect that Zhou Ping would actually agree to kill Yuanyuan's ghost.

"I underestimated this guy. I didn't expect him to be so clear-headed."

"I know that Mr. Yuan and Zhou Ping have a good relationship, so I thought Zhou Ping would not help, but I didn't expect that he would still be willing to do so."

"It seems that Zhou Ping is willing to do this for his own benefit and for the business of the He family's pharmacy."

"Sure enough, for the sake of profit, any brotherhood is fake."

Captain Leng thought that Zhou Ping was willing to kill the ghost of Yuan Gong's daughter for profit. He didn't know that Yuan Gong's daughter had not turned into a ghost at all.

Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He initially thought that Zhou Ping would not agree to this, but he did not expect Zhou Ping to agree so readily.

Zhou Ping’s original words: I helped my brother solve this problem.

Zhou Ping only said this and didn't say much else. But Wang Cheng knew that this was a sure thing.

Since Zhou Ping has made a promise, he will definitely do what he says.

What Wang Cheng didn't know was that Yuan Gong's daughter had not turned into a ghost at all, and the ghost that scared the witnesses was actually the ghost bride.

Zhou Ping agreed to Wang Cheng because the ghost bride was not very effective in scaring people, so he didn't plan to use this trick again.

When Wang Cheng met Zhou Ping, he said a lot. He said that he knew the relationship between Zhou Ping and Yuan Gong, but Zhou Ping must help him in this matter, otherwise he would be in a passive position.

Wang Cheng said a lot, and Zhou Ping agreed. Since he didn't plan to let the ghost bride become round and scary, Zhou Ping just did a favor.

Early in the morning, Zhou Ping was at the entrance of the tunnel. His mission this time was to take a few ordinary people to visit relatives in Qingyuan County.

It’s not much money, but something is better than nothing.

More importantly, Zhou Ping needed an alibi, and this trip to Qingyuan County just gave Zhou Ping an opportunity to prove his alibi.

Zhou Ping really hates this kid Lu Chang.

Zhou Ping absorbed the residual souls of Lu Chang's two younger brothers, so he saw the final situation before Yuan Yuan's death.

The scene at that time was really too cruel.

What Lu Chang did was the same as what Zhou Ping saw Zhao Tiancheng do in Jile Tower. Zhou Ping really couldn't stand it.

If Zhou Ping continued to endure it, he was even worried that this matter would affect his Taoism!
An underage demon boy and an underage girl.

These two roles, even in previous lives, were the bottom line for being a human being.

Wang Cheng had been guarding the entrance of the tunnel since early morning: "Brother, I heard you were leaving, how is that matter going?"

Wang Cheng knew that Zhou Ping was going to escort the convoy and was worried that he would forget to deal with the ghost matter.

Zhou Ping smiled calmly: "It was resolved last night, Captain Wang, don't worry."

Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, brother. I know this matter is very difficult for you."

Zhou Ping waved his hand: "Okay, Captain Wang, no more words. I still have to go on a mission, and it may take eight or nine days for me to come back."

It takes five days to get from Qinghe County to Qingyuan County. Even if Zhou Ping returns at the fastest speed, it will still take three or four days.

"Okay, brother, when you come back, I will invite you to have a drink at the Jiaofangsi." Wang Cheng said heavily.

Zhou Ping nodded: "See you when you get back."

Zhou family, mansion.

Yuan Gongzheng came to the house to protect He Yunqing and Liu Ruyan, mother and daughter.

He Yunqing looked at Yuan Gong and said, "Brother Yuan, there is nothing to do recently. Yan Yi is here. You can go back and rest more. You don't have to stay here all the time."

He Yunqing has already told Yan Yi to ask the escort agency to give Yuan Gong a long vacation.

This long vacation can be as long as you want.

Although Yuan Gong was still tired, he tried to cheer himself up: "Miss He, it's okay. The dead are dead, and the living have to continue living, right?"

He Yunqing was speechless for a moment, she didn't know what to say. But He Yunqing knew that Yuan Gong was completely heartbroken and would not make any extreme reactions to his daughter's death.
Five days later.

Zhou Ping walked out of Qingyuan County.

There were some twists and turns along the way. Two groups of people wanted to attack the people who were visiting their relatives, but they were stopped by Zhou Ping.

These robbers who blocked the road were not lucky, because Zhou Ping was in a bad mood, so the robbers were too embarrassed to see them.

"The Vajra Indestructible Body is finally perfected!" During these five days, Zhou Ping used the night time to absorb the spiritual energy from the herbs and finally cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Body to the highest level.

The Vajra Indestructible Body is equivalent to a piece of armor, which increases Zhou Ping's defense.

Not only that, the Vajra Indestructible Body will also grow with Zhou Ping. As Zhou Ping's cultivation level improves, the Vajra Indestructible Body will also become stronger.

Zhou Ping is now terribly hard.

He once tried to hit his crotch with a stone, but to his surprise, his crotch was not hurt at all and the stone was broken into pieces.

"Other people's brothers can play drums, but my brother can beat people to death."

Zhou Ping completed this mission and obtained three years of life.

At this time, Zhou Ping already had sixty-six years of life left.

"It's time to go back and deal with that kid!" Zhou Ping said secretly.

Qinghe County.

At a pancake stall, a young man was sucking crickets from a woman's body.

The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with tears. Passers-by on the road pretended not to see him and took detours.

After a while, the young man stood up, still somewhat uninterested. He glanced at the woman and said, "It's my first time, but my body is a little shriveled."

After the boy finished speaking, he walked away.

"My daughter, I'm sorry. Dad is not a human being and I dare not help you." The middle-aged man had tears in his eyes. He was also a witness to Yuanyuan's death.

But he didn't expect that retribution would come to him so soon.

The girl's eyes were filled with tears and were swollen from crying.

"Dad, blame me. I shouldn't have come out and let him see me. Okay, Dad, stop crying. We still have to sell sesame cakes. You still have to support grandpa and grandma. I know you don't offend anyone for the sake of our family."
