Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 63: Will the ghost fire hurt people?

Maybe it was a rare opportunity to laugh at Shi Sheng.

Si Nan's laughter didn't stop for a long time.

Shi Sheng was indifferent for a long time.

Then he asked Ye Liuyun in a sincere tone.

"Sir, can I kill him?"

Now, not only Ye Liuyun, but also the Jinyiwei behind him all smiled knowingly.

But no one continued to make fun of it.

,,,

After several days of travel, we finally arrived at our destination, Shuihe County.

When Ye Liuyun led a group of Jinyiwei into Shuihe County, many people passing by looked at them with curiosity and inquiry. Perhaps it was the first time they saw so many Jinyiwei in person.

"My lords!"

After a while, the magistrate of Shuihe County, who received the news, came forward with some people from the yamen.

Especially after seeing Ye Liuyun in the lead.

The smile was particularly kind.

"Your Excellency has come all this way, so you must be tired. I have already arranged a banquet to welcome you."

Ye Liuyun did not refuse, but waved his hand, signaling the county magistrate to lead the way.

Shuihe County is a remote place and the county magistrate can be said to be the local emperor of Shuihe County.

As a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, even if Ye Liuyun killed the county magistrate, no one would say anything as long as he found a suitable reason. It would be normal for the county magistrate to be flattering.

Shuihe County is not big, but the food in this restaurant is pretty good.

"My lords, please take your seats."

The county magistrate greeted them with a smile and politely gestured for Si Nan, Shi Sheng and others to take a seat.

But no one cares.

Until Ye Liuyun sat down in the main seat and waved to everyone.

"sit down!"

With Ye Liuyun's consent, everyone sat down in unison.

This scene made the county magistrate look a little embarrassed, but he quickly recovered. He knew in his heart that only Ye Liuyun was the backbone of these people.

"grown ups!"

Sitting down next to Ye Liuyun, the county magistrate first asked his men to bring a box.

Then he picked up the wine glass and said to Ye Liuyun.

"Shuihe County is not as good as the Imperial City. There are not many places for you gentlemen to have fun. This money is my own savings. I hope you can accept it and have fun in Shuihe County."

After saying that, he asked someone to open a corner of the box.

Inside were rows of neatly stacked gold.

Did he save it himself? How much was the annual salary of a county magistrate? How could he save so much money?

There are some things that everyone knows.

"We were ordered to come here to solve the problems in Shuihe County. How can we just indulge in pleasure? If that's the case, don't talk about it anymore."

After saying that, Ye Liuyun glanced at Si Nan.

Si Nan understood and took the cash box with a smile.

"understand!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun accept the money, the smile on the county magistrate's face became even wider.

No wonder so many Jinyiwei like to take cases outside the city. There is really a lot of money to be made in it.

,,,

Return to the inn specially arranged by the county magistrate.

Si Nan opened the box and looked at the gold inside, and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's a lot of money! I never thought a county magistrate from such a small place could embezzle so much."

How much of the people's money has been squandered.

"Humph, this kind of person is unfit to be a county magistrate!"

Shi Sheng snorted in dissatisfaction and had a very bad impression of the county magistrate.

But unfortunately, Shuihe County is just a microcosm of the situation. There are countless similar cases, and no matter how hard we try, we can't completely eradicate them. "It's still the same old rule. Keep half and divide the remaining half."

Actually.

The mansion is now managed by Sheng Lanzhi, so Ye Liuyun is not short of money.

But it is impossible to really divide all the money among the brothers and keep nothing for yourself. Wouldn’t that make you a sucker?

"Got it!"

Half is already a lot, Si Nan nodded happily.

,,,

When he first arrived in Shuihe County, Ye Liuyun did not rush to do anything, but rested for a night first.

It was not until the next day that he gathered people and asked the county magistrate to take him around Shuihe County to understand the situation.

"Will-o'-the-wisp, will-o'-the-wisp appears again!"

"That can't really be a wronged ghost."

"It's so scary. I don't dare go out at night now."

Along the way, Ye Liuyun heard many people talking about the will-o'-the-wisp, and they looked timid.

It seems that when I was resting in the inn last night, there was another ghost fire incident in Shuihe County.

Seeing Shi Sheng walking obediently beside him without saying a word, Si Nan smiled and bumped Shi Sheng's shoulder.

"How's it going? Are you scared?"

"roll!"

Shi Sheng also heard the discussions of the people just now, and naturally understood that Si Nan said this at this time just to make fun of him.

He glared at Si Nan unhappily and didn't bother to pay attention.

"hey-hey!"

Si Nan was not angry, but found it quite interesting.

"How many times has this will-o'-the-wisp incident happened?"

When it comes to the next case, Ye Liuyun becomes serious.

"I dare not hide it from you, my Lord!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun asking this, the county magistrate hurriedly said.

"Actually, this will-o'-the-wisp appeared over a month ago. At the time, not many people saw it, and it didn't appear frequently. Initially, not many people believed it, but recently, it has appeared almost every night."

At first, the county magistrate planned to solve the problem himself, but there was really no way.

Later, the matter became more and more serious, until people died, and they had to report it to the Jinyiwei.

"Originally, these will-o'-the-wisps didn't actually hurt anyone. But one time, the people organized some people to disperse the will-o'-the-wisps, and then they were contaminated by them and caught fire. There were also a few times when people saw a perfectly healthy person suddenly burst into flames and then burned up."

As more and more people died.

The people are becoming increasingly anxious.

The county magistrate is now a little scared. After all, although he is rich, he only has one life. If he dies, he will lose everything.

"Is that so?"

Ye Liuyun nodded thoughtfully.

Has anyone been burned to death by this will-o'-the-wisp?

Just as Ye Liuyun continued walking forward in deep thought, a noisy sound not far away interrupted his thoughts.

"Amulet! Keep you safe! With my amulet, you can have peace all your life, and keep away ghosts and gods."

Look at it from a distance.

It was a young-looking man, holding a whisk in his hand, and selling a lot of talismans in front of him.

"That is?"

The moment he looked over, Ye Liuyun was suddenly stunned.

Thinking that Ye Liuyun was curious about the young man's identity, the county magistrate immediately explained.

"Sir, this young man claims to be Taoist Yunsheng. He came to our Shuihe County about a month ago. At first, we thought he was a scammer, but later people discovered that with his amulet, the ghostly fire seemed to be unable to get close to us."

Ye Liuyun didn't say anything.

The reason for the surprise was that he saw the talent entry on this young man.
