Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 51 The Two Ghosts Visit the Prison
Li Xiuyuan returned to the mansion at this moment.

Even though it was already night, the lobby of the Li family was still brightly lit. Several housekeepers, as well as the guards of the Li family, gathered here, waiting for the order from the master.

Li Xiuyuan's face was heavy at the moment, obviously he was not in a good mood.

"My father was imprisoned by County Magistrate Liu. You all know this. I visited that County Magistrate Liu today. He is a greedy and evil official. Detaining my father was not just about extorting money from my Li family. Its real purpose is to take advantage of the problem and seize the four generations of my Li family's family business."

After finishing speaking, he slapped the tea table violently, and the heavy tea table actually cracked under this slap.

The housekeepers and guards were terrified and did not dare to say more.

Li Xiuyuan said: "My Li family has been a good family in Guobei County over the years, building bridges and paving roads, building water conservancy, running schools and opening relief homes, I don't know how many people have been supported indirectly. He dares to be so unscrupulous when he divides power, and takes advantage of my Li family, it seems that he really thinks that my Li family is a soft persimmon, so he can squeeze it if he wants to."

"Young Master, what are you going to do?" Li Guanjiawen asked

"It's impossible for County Magistrate Liu to release my father. I will allow my father to be imprisoned even when he is old. His County Magistrate Liu is cruel, so don't blame me, Li Xiuyuan, for being cruel."

"The Master said, why complain, to repay grievances with grievances, these are the words of a sage, and I consider myself a scholar, how can I not follow the principles of a sage."

A cold light flickered in Li Xiuyuan's eyes: "Notify the Escort Bureau to send me a hundred experts, preferably from other places. At noon tomorrow, all of them will be masked and sent to the county government office to tie up that county magistrate Liu. Then take it thousands of miles away, and cut it with a single knife."

"Wh, what, kill an official? Young master, you have to think twice. Killing an official is tantamount to rebellion. If the news leaks out, our Li family will suffer disaster."

Butler Li was taken aback, his face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground and begged, "Please, Eldest Young Master, for the sake of family property, you have used other methods, this method is too dangerous."

Tieshan next to him said, "It's not an exaggeration to kill this son-of-a-bitch county magistrate. Who told him to keep thinking about our Li family, young master, as long as you say a word, the younger one will go to the escort bureau to gather him!" The manpower is guaranteed to be from other places, and after the incident is completed, they will never appear in Guobei County, so no one will be able to find out."

Tieshan, who was loyal to the Li family, supported Li Xiuyuan without hesitation.

"Tieshan, don't talk nonsense. A county magistrate will surely enjoy killing him, but it's time. Once the news is revealed, the Li family will be finished." Li Butler is a steady person, and he doesn't want to take risks like Li Xiuyuan.

"Hey, why does Eldest Young Master do it yourself, why not let the younger one do it for you, as long as Eldest Young Master tells you, the younger one will make that County Magistrate Liu survive tonight." A muffled voice sounded.

"Magistrate Liu has committed too many crimes, and he is about to suffer retribution. The young master doesn't need to bother about this matter." Another voice sounded.

"Who, who is talking." Tieshan shouted: "Stand up for me."

Li Xiuyuan recognized the voice.

On the way back, the two ghost messengers I met, one with a blue face and the other with a black face.

"My Li family's mansion, you two brats still dare to sneak in, don't you want to live?" Li Xiuyuan said coldly.

"No, I dare not."

As the sound fell, a gust of wind blew outside the door, and two ghost servants in yamen uniforms bowed their hands to Li Xiuyuan respectfully.

"I just happened to pass by your mansion just now, and I happened to hear Mr. Li talking about the killing, so I was shocked, so I came over curiously to see if there is anything that can help Mr. Li. If there is any alarm Please don't blame Mr. Li." The blue-faced ghost messenger apologized.

Everyone was shocked when they saw these two ghost messengers, and Butler Li was even more frightened and fell to the ground unconsciously with a cry of surprise.

Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting on the main seat, snorted lightly: "I just talked, and the sound is only five feet away, and you can hear it outside the mansion?"

"Mr. Li, I'm a ghost messenger. I can hear sounds from all directions and three miles away. Naturally, I can also hear what Mr. Li said at the mansion." The black-faced ghost messenger said.

Li Xiuyuan smiled softly: "No wonder there is a saying that is good, if you want people to know, you have to do nothing. It seems that you ghosts and gods do have some supernatural powers. It is really not easy for ordinary people to satisfy you."

"Hey, hey, Mr. Li is ridiculous." The black-faced ghost guard said with a dry smile.

"You want to help me deal with that magistrate Liu?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"I would like to serve Mr. Li." The two ghost messengers said.

However, Li Xiuyuan stood up and said coldly: "Don't think I don't know, you guys made up this matter, I have already inquired clearly before, the reason why magistrate Liu dared to arrest my father so unscrupulously is because The identification of Goddess Wang, I heard from Butou Xu that Goddess Wang returned to Guobei County yesterday, was arrested, and was killed in court. Everything was ordered by my father, so County Magistrate Liu took advantage of the problem to deal with my Li family. .”

"If you had taken the soul of Mistress Wang away yesterday, how could such a thing have happened? How could you ghosts and gods be so kind to do things for my Li family? It is clear that you are afraid that after the Dongchuang incident, I will be angry. A piece of paper was written to the City God of Guobei City, so that you will lose your position and be punished."

He still didn't understand why these two ghost messengers stopped on the road in broad daylight and kowtowed to him for mercy.

Feelings have already been counted on this matter, so I begged for mercy in advance.

If it were a duller person, he might not realize this at the moment, and be fooled by these two little ghosts for nothing.

The two ghost messengers were startled, and they knelt on the ground in fright: "It's the little one who got in trouble with Mr. Li, and I ask Mr. Li to give the little one a chance, and the little one is willing to make up for it."

"Aren't you ghost messengers, why do you still beg me, a mortal?" Li Xiuyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly.

The two ghost messengers also had misery in their hearts. If they were ordinary people, they naturally wouldn't need to be so humble, but the young master of the Li family has a very high fate, and even the Lord City God is respectful. After arriving in Guo Beicheng, I really lost my life.

At this moment, these two ghost messengers are also smart, they just keep expressing their willingness to make up for their mistakes, and ask Li Xiuyuan to forgive them.

"Magistrate Liu is dead or alive today. Let me see how he treats my father. Aren't you a ghost messenger? Go to the cell to find out how my father is doing and whether he has been punished. If so, what happened? Punishment." Li Xiuyuan didn't compete with these two ghosts either.

Now is the time for employing people, and these two ghosts are more or less useful now.

"There are lions guarding the prison, and the two young ones dare not approach." The blue-faced ghost made a mistake.

The black-faced ghost guard said: "If Mr. Li can write a few words and get rid of those two stone lions, the younger one will be able to go to jail."

"You two ghosts know a lot." Li Xiuyuan snorted softly, and immediately took a pen and ink to write two words: Back off.

Then he tossed it out.

"Eldest young master wait a moment, the younger one will come as soon as he goes."

A gust of wind blew up, and the piece of paper that rolled up Li Xiuyuan flew into the distance.

The paper circled and danced in mid-air, heading straight for the county government jail.

The two ghost messengers came to the gate, and at this time they manifested their figures, but as soon as they landed, they heard two roars of lions, and the two stone lions placed at the gate of the prison seemed to come alive, opening their arms Glaring at the two ghost messengers, it seemed that as soon as they took a step forward, they would rush out and tear the two ghost messengers to pieces.

But at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and a letter with the word "Retreat" was blown by the wind and landed in front of the two stone lions.

The two stone lions immediately let out a low cry, and regained their calmness, no longer their previous fierce appearance.

"Hey, it's no wonder that Lord Chenghuang cares so much about the young master of the Li family. He is indeed a man with a very high fortune, and even the lion in front of the prison has to give in."

"It's also fortunate that we are lucky. The young master of the Li family used some method to seal his breath, otherwise ghosts and gods like us would not be able to get close to him."

"That's true. I guess it was the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple in Xiahe Village. He is an expert with great supernatural powers. When we passed by Guobei County last time, he waved his sleeves and flew out eight times. It took three days and three nights to get back from hundreds of miles away, and I almost died of exhaustion."

The two ghosts chatted one sentence at a time, turning into a gust of dark wind and blowing into the prison.
