Chapter 36 Genius Captain Zhang, please stop fighting, brother.

It’s a starry night.

The Fengyun County Government Office was bustling with people at this time.

"Someone come quickly, there's a fire."

"Hurry up and help us! The warehouse is almost completely burned down. It's such a big fire."

Suddenly, an inexplicable fire swept through the entire county government's document warehouse, and many old documents were burned.

It took a while for the noisy voices to die down.

The county magistrate sat in the yard with a gloomy face, quietly listening to the report of Captain Zhang. The moonlight spread on the ground like a gauze.

"Captain Zhang, has the office been completely burned?"

"Your Excellency, the document room accidentally caught fire due to the dry weather. Although the bailiffs on duty discovered it in time, many important documents could not be rescued. Please punish us, my lord." After saying this, Captain Zhang knelt down like he was trying to overturn a jade pillar.

Upon hearing this, County Master Zhou showed a look of relief on his face, and then he said sternly: "So many important books and documents were destroyed and thrown away. What happened?"

"You must give me an explanation for this matter."

Captain Zhang, still kneeling on the ground, said, "Your Excellency, I have already investigated the matter. It was a clerk hired temporarily from the case room who was lazy and forgot to blow out the candle when he left. This caused the fire. I have already fined him and expelled him. He will never be employed again."

"I also heard that this person knows he can't face the county lord, so he has decided to move his family to Lin County to live with his relatives and has no intention of coming back."

"The document library caught fire, and I failed to put out the fire. I am also guilty of negligence. Please punish me, sir."

Upon hearing this, County Master Zhou couldn't help but smile.

"The government has a lot of affairs to deal with, and Chief Inspector Zhang has just taken office, so there are some mistakes that cannot be helped. In this case, let's just leave it as it is for now."

"When Daoist Master Yi recommended you, Captain Zhang, to me, I was worried that Captain Zhang wouldn't be able to do the job as Chief Constable. Today, I know that you are truly a capable person."

"That's right."

"Have you arranged everything for Mr. Wang's family? Have all the property been registered?"

"Mr. Wang is a well-known local squire. After such a tragedy, he must be allowed to go in a dignified manner. The remaining wealth will be handed over to the court."

The county magistrate winked at his left and right, and immediately an old servant in black came out from the darkness and brought a chair for Captain Zhang to sit down.

Captain Zhang thanked him profusely before speaking.

"In reply to your words, sir, how dare I be careless about what you have asked me to do."

"All the property of the Wang family has been registered. All the direct descendants of the Wang family have been buried in coffins made of the finest sandalwood and yellow pear wood. The rest of the people have also been properly dealt with."

"All the funds will be temporarily advanced by the county government, and will be deducted after the inventory is completed."

"But after all, Mr. Wang's family died at the hands of evil spirits. To prevent any accidents, I think it would be better to cremate the remains together with the coffin. Then, we can take the ashes and perform a ritual before burying them. This will not only reassure the people around, but also preserve the dignity of Mr. Wang's family."

The county magistrate's smile grew wider.

"Captain Zhang does things properly. This is a mature and prudent statement. He is a great talent."

Facing the county magistrate's praise, Captain Zhang looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then he walked carefully to the side of County Magistrate Zhou and said softly, "County Magistrate, when I was confiscating and sealing the Wang family's assets, I accidentally found a jade Buddha with a gold seat in Wang Yuanwai's house. It is more than one foot tall and has a beautiful shape. It is said to be an antique. I did not register it. When I came back, I went to your mansion first and handed it over to your housekeeper."

"Don't worry, I went there alone and no one noticed."

At this point, the county magistrate could not help but clap his hands and laugh: "Captain Zhang, you are a genius."

"I didn't expect that there was a hidden gem like Captain Zhang that I didn't discover in my county office. This is the dereliction of duty of this county magistrate."

"Let's put it this way. With great ability comes great responsibility. The burden of Zhenbao Street still needs to be shouldered by Captain Zhang. Do a good job. I will remember your contribution, Captain Zhang."

"Someone, give Chief Constable Zhang a glass of wine."

"Thank you, County Magistrate." Captain Zhang raised his head and glanced at County Magistrate Zhou in the moonlight, knowing in his heart that his position as chief constable was secure.

After Captain Zhang left, County Master Zhou called his old servant to start grinding and writing a letter.

The letter was not the one sent to the Zhen'an Division of the imperial court asking for help. He had sent the letter as early as noon. This letter was written by the county magistrate to his mentor.

He also has to mobilize his own connections to mediate and cover up the incident, hoping to land safely.

After writing.

"Uncle Fu, please go to the capital and give this letter to my mentor."

"Oh, and take the golden jade Buddha with you as well."

The old servant who had helped Captain Zhang move the chair appeared like a ghost, holding the letter. After nodding to the county magistrate, he leaped up like a big bird and disappeared into the night.

Looking at the direction where the old servant in black left, the county magistrate remained silent in the moonlight, drinking glass after glass of wine, not knowing what he was thinking about.

…

…

Under the same moonlight, Yinlong Temple.

Yi Chen and Qing Yunzi sat opposite each other in the backyard. There were many candied fruits and two jars of good wine on the table.

It is obvious that compared with the plain tea that was served before, the economic level of Yinlong Temple has made a major breakthrough and reached a higher level.

Yi Chen picked up a handful of salted peanuts and put them into his mouth, then picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it.

"Junior brother, I have told you the whole story, and this is the current situation."

"Do you think there is any evil magic that requires a human liver? I suspect that the mysterious master behind the evil is not a more powerful evil, but a human."

"People who practice evil methods."

Hearing this, Qing Yunzi squinted his eyes, raised his head and drank a glass of wine. After chewing a peanut, he said, "I know a few ghosts who like to eat hearts, but I have never seen any books that like livers."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Maybe it's some ghostly quirk."

For some reason, Qing Yunzi's strabismus problem became more and more serious.

Seeing that Yi Chen still seemed to be a little worried, Qing Yunzi's body glowed red, and the Pure Yang Energy suddenly spread throughout his body. He said confidently: "Brother, don't worry. Over the past month or so, my Pure Yang Energy has improved by leaps and bounds. Now I am definitely not a fool."

"Even if the evil spirit comes to kill us, we will stop it with soldiers and cover it with earth."

"From now on, you won't have to endure this hardship alone."

"Hidden Dragon Temple is not only yours, Senior Brother, but also my own."

"If you don't believe me, let's practice."

Under the moonlight, Qing Yunzi's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He stared at Yi Chen, as if he was still brooding over the last disastrous defeat.

The more talented a person is, the prouder he is.

Over the past month, he has not dared to relax for a moment and has been practicing hard.

"Are you sure you want to fight?" Yi Chen glanced at Qing Yunzi and rubbed his hands happily, as his hands were itching.

My junior brother is just too young and doesn’t know how dangerous the world is. Fortunately, I am here.

After a cup of tea.

Outside Yinlong Temple.

Qing Yunzi's hair was disheveled, and he floundered on the ground, wailing non-stop:

"Brother, stop hitting me, I was wrong."

"What's wrong with you?"

"My mistake was that I forgot my senior brother's teachings, I went against Gou's true intention, and I got carried away."

"The answer is correct." With a snap, a big bump appeared on Qing Yunzi's head again.

"Brother, I'm still fighting if the answer is correct."

"Don't you think this is more symmetrical? My rising junior brother."

Under the bright moonlight, Yi Chen smiled like a big-tailed wolf. He stretched out his big hand and rubbed Qing Yunzi's head vigorously, and said loudly: "Junior brother, don't blame me for being heavy-handed. If I don't pay attention, you won't remember it."

"You don't know, the world is very bad now."

“There are old silver coins outside.”

"Brother is beating you for your own good."

"Are you convinced?"

"I give in, brother."

Watching Qing Yunzi's back as he touched his head and left, Yi Chen turned around and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. For a moment, his mind was wandering in the sky. The moonlight gathered on his body, disappeared, and replenished the deep purple pure yang internal energy that he had just consumed.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, stretched, made a biting gesture towards the moon in the sky, and then slowly walked back to the room.
