Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 112 Tool Man Arrives

With more manpower, Zhao Yi Fu simply sat down in the courtyard at the main entrance of the Qian family, leisurely drinking tea and waiting.

Although there are some procedural issues with directly confiscating the property, but within his sleeve...

He always had a piece of paper ready, and could use the ink-splashing technique to create an official document at any time, and then ask Yiyi to come with the official seal... a freshly-made document of confiscation of property would be ready.

The reason he didn't do so at this time was simply because there was no one at the scene who could make him do so.

Besides, throwing mud and framing others are the innate skills of scholars. What's more, he doesn't even need to throw mud and frame others now, because this person is dirty.

The cat-like yamen runners who were confiscating the property quickly brought back a lot of valuables, including land deeds and other things.

The cat's talent for finding things is amazing, and many hidden letters and the like were turned out.

The relatives of the Qian family were all crying and wailing, and they seemed to think that Master Qian could still handle it.

Seeing that these people were upset, Zhao Yifu ordered the yamen runners who arrived one after another to lock them up in the county government jail.

Seeing that the search was almost complete, Zhao Yifu stood up and said, "Take all the valuables back to the county government office for inventory. We will also go back and interrogate these people."

He had just asked Wu Zhong to interrogate him, but the man who attacked Zhao Yi Fu had the courage to face death with indifference. He wanted to commit suicide several times, but was stopped by Wu Zhong every time.

Later, he simply knocked him unconscious, and of course Wu Zhong's interrogation had to stop there.

Zhao Yifu felt that it was obviously not a good idea to cause such a bloody scene in public, so he went back to clean up the mess.

The group returned in a mighty procession.

The seized property alone filled ten large carts. If the Qian Mansion didn't already have several horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts, the vehicles Zhao Yifu brought would not be enough.

This was Zhao Yifu's first time as an official and also his first time to search someone's house. He didn't have a prison van ready, so he had to let Xiaohu lock the person up and lead him away.

When the people along the way saw this, they all lined the road to watch, and slowly they stopped pointing and started to cheer.

"Great! Finally, a great judge has come to eliminate this evil!"

"The Qian family is finally dead. They rose to prominence for three generations, and we suffered for three generations!"

"Please, sir, kill this evil villain..."

The sounds became more numerous and louder.

As the cheers of the people rose, Zhao Yifu felt that it was okay. He felt at ease and did not think there was anything wrong.

But his cats are different.

They are essentially demons, and while there are many different types of demon cultivation, the power of human will is also a very important one. Even many demons who want to achieve immortality must seek a title from mortals.

At this moment, the cats are doing humane things in their spirit bodies, and the humane wishes they gain at this moment are simply beyond their imagination before.

In fact, how could a cat demon that can transform into a human form be cultivated in such a short period of time?
Yiyi, the most talented one, is just a little smarter.

These cat demons actually came from Huali Kingdom one after another during this period of time.

It's just that they were all conquered without Zhao Yifu's knowledge.

Now they only feel that their decision is extremely correct. Even if they are not driven by physical pleasure to stay with Zhao Yifu, they will still be loyal to Zhao Yifu with the most rational thinking.

This kind of thinking was particularly evident in the strong cat demons recruited by Xiaohu.

They just came here to obey Xiaohu's orders, but they didn't expect to enjoy such benefits as soon as they arrived. They were all very excited.

Zhao Yifu didn't care about this. Anyway, these new cats would eventually succumb to his "cat-stroking hands".

It has to be said that the Qian family is simply a 'super experience package', which is just the right size and can be used to fill the deficit and win over the people's hearts.

That's wonderful.

Although this was also the reason why Zhao Yifu chose to confront the Qian family right from the start, he did not expect things to go so smoothly, so smoothly that Zhao Yifu felt it was unreal.

After returning to the government office, the original yamen runners immediately started to get busy.

They thought this county magistrate was amazing. When they first arrived, there were only two of them, and they seemed easy to bully, but out of nowhere, this person seemed to have "grown out of the ground". If they didn't perform well, they might lose their jobs.

The group hurried into the prison, and the entire Qian family was locked up.

Zhao Yifu and Li Liang came to the inner hall of the county government together, and gently tapped Li Liang's throat to restore his ability to speak.

"Master Li, have you thought it through?"

Li Liang took a deep breath. He knew too well what it meant that "the situation is stronger than the person".

Zhao Yifu had just taken him all the way, and I'm afraid everyone in the county knows that he is now on Zhao Yifu's side.

Li Liang actually had no way out.

But he still didn't dare to make a bet like that. He just cleared his throat and asked, "Master Zhao, may I ask if you are sure you can bypass the post station in Yuzhou and deliver the letter directly to the court?"

Zhao Yifu anticipated this and replied with a smile, "Of course. I told you I would send two letters, one open and one secret. The open one will go through the post station, while the secret one will be through my own channels."

"What do you think?"

He didn't say that it would definitely be delivered, but left it blank for Li Liang to judge for himself.

But this made Li Liang constantly guess higher in his mind. After all, Zhao Yifu had just made all these people appear like magic, which clearly meant that there was an extremely powerful organization behind it.

As long as he was sure that the governor of Yuzhou had no way to trap Zhao Yifu to death in Fenglin County, Li Liang's mind became active.

He calmed himself down, and although he was ready to join the army, he still asked, "Why me?"

He won't feel at ease if he doesn't ask this clearly.

Zhao Yifu looked at him and chuckled, "Because I need someone to handle government affairs for me. You're the chief clerk, and you already know everything about the county's affairs. Who else can I rely on besides you?"

Li Liang: “…”

This was a path he had never thought of.

He asked, "But with County Magistrate Zhao's talent, it would only take a while for him to master the key points. Why would he need me?"

Zhao Yifu said: "Because I don't want to waste my time on this, so I need you."

Li Liang: “…”

He was speechless again.

However, considering the county magistrate's muscular body and martial arts skills, he might be willing to spend his time practicing martial arts.

At this time, Li Liang felt that God was very unfair. Why did he study the books of sages so hard, but in the end he only stopped at the title of Juren and felt that he could not continue?

And Zhao Yifu, this reckless man, achieved the title of Juren at such a young age?

But there is nothing you can do no matter how unwilling you are to accept it, because the other person has the bigger fist.

Li Liang then said obediently: "Liang, I pay my respects to Lord Zhao. I hope that Lord Zhao will soon ascend to the throne of the county lord."

He saw very clearly that Zhao Yifu had caused such a big commotion as soon as he arrived, and the original county magistrate had already died. So after receiving the report, the court would most likely let Zhao Yifu take over the vacant county magistrate position.

At least it is a temporary replacement.

But for Li Liang, this may not be a bad thing.

He was effectively leveraging Zhao Yifu's political connections. After Zhao Yifu's three-year term was up, he, the chief clerk, would likely be promoted. Zhao Yifu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother Hanshan, if that's the case, I'll leave the interrogation of the Qian family to you."

"You know what I want."

Li Liang was startled, then nodded heavily.

Zhao Yifu added, "Don't worry. This also involves the death of the previous county magistrate. I will write another memorial to the court and will not forget your contribution."

The corner of Li Liang's mouth twitched. This meant that he had to rely on the county magistrate to gain a foothold in Fenglin County.

But there was nothing he could do. The situation was stronger than him. When he met someone who would overturn the table when he was indecisive, he could only bite the bullet and follow him.

"As ordered."

Li Liang responded.

Zhao Yifu added, "Okay, my servant is in jail. You can cooperate with him in the interrogation. He's a bit ruthless, so make sure he doesn't kill anyone. The court should decide the fate of these people."

Li Liang responded with a trembling heart.

He now felt that the imperial examination system of the court still had loopholes. How could such a group of killers be allowed in?
Zhao Yifu keenly sensed Li Liang's gaze. He smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, "You must be feeling very uncomfortable, right?"

"There's nothing I can do. These days, the status of warriors is getting lower and lower. Even wars have to be led by us civilians. I can only learn more skills to support myself."

Li Liang was speechless.

After all, when a warrior reads books, it is called "affecting on the cultured", while when a scholar practices martial arts, it is called "being both civil and military".

Zhao Yifu understood this, so he took the path of a top scholar who was 'well-versed in both civil and military affairs'... After all, he passed the imperial examination and got the title of Juren, so he was a scholar, which was officially certified.

Li Liang went there in a daze.

Zhao Yifu walked to the county magistrate's house in the corner behind the county government office.

The county magistrate's house is much smaller than the back room of the county government office where the county magistrate lives. After all, he is only a deputy.

But Zhao Yi Fu didn't care much. He thought that nothing would matter after he left home.

However, after arriving at the county magistrate's house, he found that it was much better than he had expected.

If you look closely, you can see that the short and plump Huadaini is meowing vigorously in the yard, directing the cats in the house to work.

Of course, the heaviest physical work is still done by Dahei, because he is the only dog ​​here.

Zhao Yifu felt very satisfied when he saw that the house was very clean.

He pulled out a bunch of dried fish from his sleeves and said, "Everyone, take a break. Let's just eat some dried fish tonight. Uncle Wu is still busy and doesn't have time to prepare food for everyone."

The cats all stopped and meowed when they came to eat.

Zhao Yifu moved a chair and sat in the yard. Suddenly, his legs felt heavy. It was Hua Da Niu who jumped up.

He smiled and reached out to rub Hua Da Niu's plump body, which felt very comfortable.

Hua Da Nv herself was also absorbed in it with her eyes narrowed.

This technique can never be used too many times.

……

Zhao Yifu didn't eat dinner that night, and he didn't really need it.

The 'Shou Ren Method' seemed to have allowed him to enter a high-level cultivation state ahead of time, where he could directly draw spiritual energy from the outside world to sustain his own survival, thus entering a fasting state.

Therefore, his body became cleaner and cleaner, and his overall condition was constantly adjusting.

He has discovered that if he continues to practice this 'Shou Ren Method', he might succeed in forming a pill without even realizing it one day.

But he still cooked a pot of rice at home, which was prepared for Wu Zhong.

Sure enough, not long after, even before dinner time, Wu Zhong came back with Li Liang.

Li Liang looked around the room curiously, and marveled at the cats lazily lying around Zhao Yifu.

"I've met County Lord Zhao. I didn't expect he's a cat lover."

Zhao Yifu waved his hand and said, "Brother Hanshan, please don't talk nonsense. I am only acting as the county magistrate. The court has not yet issued a clear order on the specific matters."

"Now that Brother Hanshan is one of us, my courtesy name is Junxin, so we can just call each other by our courtesy names."

Li Liang felt a little relieved. At least Zhao Yifu's attitude of speaking made him feel comfortable.

He said, "Okay, Junxin, I have completed the interrogation with Wu Zhuangshi and have brought the confession. Please review it."

Zhao Yifu smiled and said, "No hurry, Uncle Wu, Brother Hanshan, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

"Come, I just cooked some rice and heated up some dishes. Let's make do with it for now."

Wu Zhong was about to go into the kitchen to cook for the young master, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

He cried, "How could you trouble the young master to do these things? This old slave deserves to die. This old slave really deserves to die."

Zhao Yifu was a little embarrassed.

He said, "Uncle Wu, you've taken care of me since I was a child. Now you've been busy with my affairs until now. What's wrong with me cooking a meal for you?"

"Besides, I just cooked some rice and heated up some cold dishes. There's no way I could cook for myself."

Wu Zhong was still moved.

Zhao Yifu was impatient. He was a straightforward person and didn't want to get dragged out over such matters.

So he stood up and said, "Hurry up, do you want me to bring it out for you?"

Wu Zhong then hurried to the kitchen to get busy.

Li Liang was also invited to stay for dinner. He wanted to leave, but Zhao Yifu grabbed him and he couldn't break free...

He is very annoyed by this.

To gain entry into someone's house, one must have a very good relationship with them. He didn't want to have such a good relationship with Zhao Yifu.

But there was no way, he couldn't even stand up now.

Okay, let’s eat it. The braised food on the table is pretty delicious anyway.

It's just that the guy next to me kept crying while eating, which is quite disgusting.

And the cat next to it really has no sense of boundaries. Such a big fat cat actually sits at the table to eat.

What's more, County Magistrate Zhao really loves cats. He even pets a cat when he's looking through the interrogation records... But the breed of this cat is so strange. It looks like a little tiger.

Which serious cat has king-shaped stripes?

And there are quite a few cats with the word "王" on their foreheads.

Especially, the way they line up one after another to be masturbated is so orderly and civilized...

　I've been busy at work these past two days, and I have so many PPTs to do.
